Built in 1920, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans 300 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 16.8 acre-feet. Despite its picturesque setting and popular recreational activities, the dam is classified as having a high hazard potential and poor condition assessment, highlighting the need for ongoing maintenance and safety improvements.
Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Pine Hill Lake No 1 is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement measures to ensure public safety. With a drainage area of 0.03 square miles and a surface area of 2.4 acres, the dam poses a moderate risk of failure, prompting the need for a comprehensive risk management plan. While the dam's spillway is currently uncontrolled, efforts to enhance emergency action preparedness and risk assessment are crucial for mitigating potential hazards and ensuring the long-term resilience of this water resource in the face of changing climate conditions.
