Pendleton Cnty Country Club dam
Pendleton Cnty Country Club
Located in Pendleton County, Kentucky, the Pendleton County Country Club is a privately-owned recreational dam on the tributary of Harris Creek. Built in 1994 by Hicks and Mann Inc. in Williamstown, KY, this Earth dam stands at a height of 48 feet and spans 580 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 86.3 acre-feet, the dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 6.2 acres for leisure activities.
Regulated by the Kentucky Division of Water, the Pendleton County Country Club dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Although the dam has not been assessed for its condition, it undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam has not experienced any significant modifications or incidents, reflecting its stable and well-maintained status.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Pendleton County Country Club dam presents a unique opportunity to engage with a locally managed water infrastructure that contributes to the community's recreational landscape. With its peaceful surroundings and modest storage capacity, this dam serves as a reminder of the balance between human-made structures and nature's ecosystems, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Pendleton Cnty Country Club
Where does the data for Pendleton Cnty Country Club come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
