Summary
Built in 2014 by FOUR RIVERS ENGINEEERING & SURVEYING, INC, this earth dam stands at 17 feet high and stretches 2300 feet in length. It serves the primary purpose of irrigation, with a storage capacity of 275 acre-feet and a surface area of 19.5 acres.
Managed by the KY Division of Water, Hillview Farms Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of Kentucky. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam on DRY CREEK in Caldwell County ensures the safety of the surrounding area while providing essential water resources for agricultural purposes. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in water management and climate resilience in the region.
Hillview Farms Dam's presence highlights the importance of private infrastructure in water resource management. With its strategic location and purposeful design, this dam contributes to the sustainable utilization of water for irrigation in Kentucky. As climate change continues to impact water availability, dams like Hillview Farms play a significant role in ensuring water security and agricultural sustainability in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

Dam Data Reference
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.
