Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, this earth dam structure was completed in 1955 with a primary purpose of serving as a water source. With a dam height of 34 feet and a storage capacity of 71.1 acre-feet, it covers a surface area of 4.6 acres and has a drainage area of 0.09 square miles. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the hazard potential is rated as low with a moderate risk assessment.
Despite its historical significance, George Roland Lake faces challenges in its condition assessment, which is deemed poor. The last inspection conducted in 2005 highlighted the need for improvement and potential risk management measures. While the dam serves a crucial function in water resource management, the structure's maintenance and upkeep are essential to ensure its long-term sustainability and safety. Climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates may find interest in monitoring the progress and development of George Roland Lake, as it continues to play a vital role in the local ecosystem and water supply.
