Built in 1980 by BURNS AND ROE, INC. ENGINEERS AND CONSTRUCTORS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 33 feet and stretches 6400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1180-acre feet and a surface area of 46 acres. The pond is regulated by the KY Division of Water and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its fair condition and significant hazard potential.
Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway width of 50 feet helps manage water levels during overflow events. The location of Coleman Station Pond, near the city of TROY, INDIANA, makes it a crucial water resource for the region. With a moderate risk assessment of 3, the pond serves a primary purpose other than traditional water storage, indicating its importance for multiple uses. As climate change impacts water resources, understanding and managing facilities like Coleman Station Pond will be essential for sustainable water management in the future.
