Summary
Completed in 1995, this dam serves as a crucial water resource management system for the area, holding a storage capacity of 41.5 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 11.7 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 19 feet and has a length of 250 feet, covering a surface area of 1.4 acres and draining an area of 0.08 square miles.
Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, this dam poses a high hazard potential but has been assessed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in August 2017. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unclear. Situated near the TRIB-HOG Creek, Montgomery Land Fill Pond No 6 plays a crucial role in water storage and flood control, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining the structural integrity of this essential infrastructure for the surrounding community of Montgomery, Kentucky.

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.
