Summary

With a dam height of 31 feet and a length of 222 feet, it has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.53 square miles. The dam has a high hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.

Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with no associated locks. While the condition assessment is not available, the risk management measures and emergency action plan status are also unknown. With its strategic location and function in debris control, River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B plays a crucial role in water resource management in Perry County, Kentucky.

As a key infrastructure for mitigating debris in the Sam Campbell Branch, River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B serves as a vital component in the overall water resource and climate management efforts in the region. The dam's construction and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlight the importance of collaboration between private owners and federal agencies in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of water control structures. Further monitoring and assessment of the dam's condition and risk management measures will be essential in maintaining its functionality and safeguarding the surrounding communities from potential hazards.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
