Summary
This Earth-type dam, completed in 1951, stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 300 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 600 acre-feet and a normal storage of 230 acre-feet, Kyle Lake covers an area of 80 acres and is fed by the Piney Fork river.
Despite its low hazard potential, Kyle Lake has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and management. Regular inspections, with the last conducted in March 2017, ensure the dam's structural integrity and safety. Although the condition assessment is currently unavailable, the emergency action plan (EAP) was last revised in February 2010 to meet guidelines for potential emergency scenarios.
With its tranquil setting and opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing and boating, Kyle Lake is a valuable resource for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, maintaining the infrastructure and safety of dams like Kyle Lake is crucial for sustainable water management and resilience 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.
