1 is a private-owned dam located in Corbin, Kentucky, with a primary purpose of storing tailings. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 100 feet and spans a length of 2100 feet. Despite being regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the dam has a low hazard potential and its condition assessment is currently not available.
With a storage capacity of 2135 acre-feet, Module No. 1 plays a crucial role in water resource management in Knox County. However, the dam's last inspection took place in March 2015, raising concerns about its current condition and safety standards. Given its importance in the region, efforts should be made to ensure regular inspections and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks associated with the dam.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and advocate for the safety of structures like Module No. 1 to prevent any potential incidents that could harm the environment and local communities. By staying informed about the dam's condition and pushing for adequate regulatory measures, we can contribute to the sustainable management of water resources in the area and promote resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
