Summary

Completed in 1953, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 435 feet, providing irrigation purposes along Camden Creek. With a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 7.2 acres and serves a drainage area of 0.6 square miles.

Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Pin Oak Farm Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not currently assessed for its condition, the dam is subject to moderate risk and receives inspections every 5 years. This structure, under the jurisdiction of the Louisville District of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, plays a crucial role in water resource management within the region and contributes to the overall climate resilience of the area.

As a significant water resource infrastructure in Kentucky, Pin Oak Farm Dam serves as a vital component for irrigation activities and water storage along Camden Creek. With its historical completion dating back to the 1950s, the dam continues to play a crucial role in supporting agricultural practices and ensuring water availability for the surrounding community. Its state-regulated status and moderate risk assessment underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to safeguard the dam's integrity and enhance its contribution to water management and climate adaptation efforts in the region.

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.
