Summary

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.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
