Summary
The earth dam stands at 22 feet high and spans 800 feet in length, creating a storage capacity of 65.8 acre-feet and a surface area of 13.8 acres. The lake is fed by TR-CASEY CREEK and is regulated by the Kentucky Division of Water.
Despite its low hazard potential, Twin Lakes Farm Lake has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a need for proactive risk management measures. The dam is not currently rated for its condition, and the last inspection was conducted in 2008, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. The spillway is of an uncontrolled type, and there are no associated locks or outlet gates.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Twin Lakes Farm Lake to be a fascinating case study in private dam ownership and regulation. With its scenic location and recreational purpose, this lake serves as both a leisure destination and a critical infrastructure requiring ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental sustainability.

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.
