Mud River Frs No 14 dam
Mud River Frs No 14
Mud River FRS No 14, also known as Antioch Lake, is a flood risk reduction structure located in Todd, Kentucky. Built in 1964 by the Soil Conservation Service, USDA/NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 51 feet and has a length of 680 feet. With a storage capacity of 2000 acre-feet and a drainage area of 8.6 square miles, this structure serves as a vital component in managing floodwaters along the Mud River.
Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Mud River FRS No 14 is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its functionality and safety. The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and is assessed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in March 2017. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, the structure is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway to manage excess water during heavy rainfall events. With its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential water-related disasters.
Located in the Nashville District and under state jurisdiction, Mud River FRS No 14 stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Kentucky. With its historical significance and ongoing maintenance, this structure showcases the importance of investing in infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of climate change on local communities and water resources.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Mud River Frs No 14
Where does the data for Mud River Frs No 14 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
