Addressing the Problem
• Kentucky Division of Water (KDOW) plays a major role in water-related infrastructure
• This presentation will focus on KDOW’s efforts to enhance dam-related infrastructure
• Outline KDOW’s role in other infrastructure-related elements

Kentucky’s Dam Safety Program
• Vision • Improved Service• Enhanced Productivity• Better Accuracy
• Challenges• Expending the $10M SODR funds in ongoing projects• Knowledge transfers to next generation employees and dam
owners• Transitioning from paper files to electronic• Improving databases• Testing new tools (engineering and mapping)• Kentucky Dam Safety Advisory Council• Considering a modern PMP Study• Updating Dam Safety regulations and Engineering Memoranda

Kentucky’s Dam Safety Program Strategy
Strategic Partnerships
• Respecting missions• Coordinating initiatives• Leveraging funding• Synergizing efforts between
programs• Collaboration with federal and
state partners
Partners
• FEMA National Dam Safety• FEMA Risk MAP• USACE• USGS• NWS• Kentucky NRCS• Kentucky Emergency Management• Kentucky Dept of Fish and Wildlife• Kentucky Dept of Parks (Tourism)• Kentucky Transportation Cabinet• University of Louisville Center for
Hazards Research• DOW CTP contractors
Path to Success

Kentucky Division of Water – Strategic Projects
• FEMA Risk MAP• Flood hazard mapping with emphasis on risk assessment and
planning initiatives• Levee Analysis and Mapping Procedures (LAMP) pilot project
• Kentucky Silver Jackets• USACE-led initiative for flood risk management
• Frankfort - dam and levee overtopping inundation mapping • Falmouth - flood inundation mapping• Louisville - levee system evaluation / emergency response plan
• “CHAMPS" and "IFLOODRISK“ web-based portals• Interactive web applications for enhanced:
• Flood risk outreach• Emergency response• Mitigation planning• Hydraulic model dissemination

Kentucky Division of Water – Strategic Projects
• “Proof of Concept” - Avoid large dam capital improvement projects through:
• Better engineering• Better data• Downstream risk mitigation• Outreach and education
*This approach allowed Division of Water to redirect > $3M of State-Owned Dam Repair capital funds to priority capital dam projects
![Page 11: Infrastructure Challenges in Kentucky Carey Johnson Kentucky Division of Water 2014 Governor’s Conference on Energy and the Environment.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e545503460f94b4b41e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Kentucky Division of Water – Strategic Projects
• Lake Beshear Dam• Better engineering model → reclassify the dam
• Spurlington Lake Dam • Better engineering model → purchase downstream
residences and property → Reclassify dam• McNeeley Lake Dam
• Better engineering model → reclassify the dam
*Downstream zoning change ensured permanent fix• Willisburg Lake Dam
• Better engineering model → Identify residences to purchase? → reclassify dam?

Additional Efforts
• Risk MAP– Mapping, Assessment,
and Planning
• Identification of infrastructure that causes flooding– Undersized bridges,
culverts, other stream pinch points
• Collaboration with local communities to mitigate problem areas
