River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B dam
River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B
River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B, located in Kryton, Kentucky, is a private earth dam completed in 1972 for the primary purpose of debris control on the Sam Campbell Branch. With a dam height of 31 feet and a length of 222 feet, it has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.53 square miles. The dam has a high hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam has uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with no associated locks. While the condition assessment is not available, the risk management measures and emergency action plan status are also unknown. With its strategic location and function in debris control, River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B plays a crucial role in water resource management in Perry County, Kentucky.
As a key infrastructure for mitigating debris in the Sam Campbell Branch, River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B serves as a vital component in the overall water resource and climate management efforts in the region. The dam's construction and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlight the importance of collaboration between private owners and federal agencies in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of water control structures. Further monitoring and assessment of the dam's condition and risk management measures will be essential in maintaining its functionality and safeguarding the surrounding communities from potential hazards.
Dam data reference
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 River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B
Where does the data for River Proc.Coal Silt Str-S.Campbell B 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 High 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.
