Summary
Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a length of 765 feet, providing storage capacity for 65 acre-feet of water. Its primary purpose is classified as 'Other', with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it is situated on TR-LONG CREEK within the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its age, Rosewood Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 2007. With a moderate risk assessment, this dam presents a potential challenge for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The surrounding area, including FIES in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, should take note of the dam's presence and be prepared for any emergency situations that may arise. As an essential part of the local water infrastructure, the proper maintenance and monitoring of Rosewood Lake Dam are crucial to ensuring its continued safety and functionality.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
