Summary
With a height of 23 feet and a length of 750 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 106 acre-feet. The dam, completed in an unspecified year, has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Eugene Evridge Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, indicating room for improvement in emergency response preparedness. With a small drainage area of 0.1 square miles and a surface area of 12 acres, the dam serves as a recreational spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor activities in the Kentucky area.
Although Eugene Evridge Dam may not be as well-known as some other dams, its significance lies in its contribution to recreational opportunities in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial for dam owners and regulators to prioritize safety measures and emergency preparedness to ensure the resilience of these structures in the face of potential hazards.

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.
