"permittingAuthorityId":0, "politicalPartyId":null, "privateDamId":null, "projectDescription":"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed the construction of Fishtrap Dam in 1969. The project was authorized under the Flood Control Act of 1938 (PL 75-761) and its purposes include flood risk management, recreation, fish and wildlife and low flow augmentation. Fishtrap Dam is a high-hazard potential dam three miles upstream of the confluence of the Russell and Levisa Forks of the Big Sandy River. The project is approximately 130 miles from the confluence of the Big Sandy River with the Ohio River. The project is in southern Pike County, Kentucky, approximately seven miles from Pikeville. \n\nThe Dam is 32 feet wide at the crest, with a length of 1,100 feet and a maximum base width of 990 feet. The structural height, or maximum height above the streambed, is 195 feet. The dam comprises a rock-fill embankment dam, an intake structure and tunnel, and a gate-controlled spillway. The 195-foot-tall embankment is composed of rock fill with an impervious core. The concrete gravity spillway structure is 258 feet wide and has four 57-foot by 37-foot gates.\n\nThe dam helps regulate waters coming from the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River and controls a drainage area of 395 square miles. It helps provide flood risk management all along the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River including Pikeville, Prestonsburg, Louisa, and Catlettsburg, Kentucky before the confluence of the Big Sandy River with the Ohio River.", "riskCharSummary":"A 2020 risk assessment for Fishtrap Dam classified it as having low risk of failure during a flood. Although risks associated with a breach or failure are low, the dam does not completely eliminate flood risks downstream. Flooding can still occur even if Fishtrap Dam is operating as designed. There are extremely rare (but possible) storms that could cause more rainfall than the dam can safely store. During such an event, the gated spillway to the right (East) of the dam has the potential to pass up to 298 thousand cubic feet of water per second. The operation of the spillway would be necessary to prevent the dam from overtopping and potentially breaching. \n \nWhile the Fishtrap Dam spillway has never flowed, if operated it could result in significant flooding in downstream communities in Pikeville and Prestonsburg, impacting the Local Protection Projects (levees) in these communities. Similarly, significant impacts in the rural communities of Pike, Floyd, Johnson, and Lawrence Counties in Kentucky could be observed. Depending on the amount of water released, significant damages to houses, buildings, factories, roads, bridges, power, and water supply may occur. Critical infrastructure, including roadways (evacuation routes) and bridges along the Levisa Fork and local tributaries, may not be passable due to high flood waters during spillway flows. \n \nWhile rare events like these have not occurred to date, if they were to happen, water is likely to reach hillside to hillside quickly and be more than tens of feet deep depending on the location. In the rare event Fishtrap Dam must pass these extreme flows, follow all directions from emergency officials, including evacuation orders. Failure to do so puts you and your family\u2019s lives at risk.", "riskManagementMeasures":"There are numerous activities that US Army Corps of Engineers conducts on a day-to-day basis to help manage risk at Fishtrap Dam. The dam is well maintained through continuous operations and maintenance activities, and US Army Corps of Engineers conducts detailed inspections of the dam during both normal lake levels and during flood events. Supplementing these inspections, the dam has a specialized instrumentation and monitoring system to allow US Amy Corps of Engineers staff to continually evaluate the dam for changing conditions. Risk management and emergency response actions are being supported by conducting emergency exercises and dam safety training with US Army Corps of Engineers staff and local and state emergency responders. Additionally, the dam\u2019s Emergency Action Plan is routinely updated to improve emergency response actions.", "riverName":"LEVISA FORK OF BIG SANDY RIVER", "separateStructuresCount":0, "sourceAgency":"US Army Corps of Engineers", "spillwayTypeId":1, "spillwayWidth":228, "stateFedId":"KY03028", "stateRegulatoryAgency":null, "stateRegulatedId":0, "structuralHeight":195, "submitDate":"2023-02-16T00:00:00.000Z", "surfaceArea":1131, "volume":2560000, "widthOfLocks":0, "secondaryWidthOfLocks":null, "yearCompleted":1969, "congDist":"Congressional District 05, Kentucky", "city":"MILLARD", "county":"Pike", "aiannh":null, "websiteUrl":"https://www.lrh.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Dam-Safety-Program/", "coreTypeIds":"3", "damTypeIds":"5;8", "fedConstructionIds":"1", "fedDesignIds":"1", "fedFundingIds":"1", "fedInspectionIds":"1", "fedOperationIds":"1", "fedOtherIds":"1", "fedOwnerIds":"1", "fedRegulatoryIds":"1", "formerNames":null, "foundationTypeIds":"3", "nonFederalDamOnFederalId":0, "designerNames":"CELRH", "otherNames":"Fishtrap Lake", "ownerNames":"USACE - Huntington District", "ownerTypeIds":"3", "primaryDamTypeId":5, "primaryOwnerTypeId":3, "primaryPurposeId":9, "purposeIds":"9;12;4;5", "dsacId":4, "femaRegion":"4", "lastEapExcerDate":"2024-07-25T12:00:00.000Z", "dataUpdated":"2025-04-21T12:00:00.000Z", "usaceDistrict":"Huntington District", "noConsequencesId":0, "secretaryAgricultureBuiltId":null, "nrcsWatershedAuthorizationId":null, "isAssociatedStructureId":"No", "fedRegulatedId":"Yes", "inundationNidAddedId":1, "damStatusId":2, "huc06":"050702", "doi_region":null, "doi_region_name":"North Atlantic-Appalachian", "doi_region_number":1 }, "id":63108, "links":[ { "type":"application/json", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=json" }, { "type":"text/html", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=html" }, { "rel":"self", "type":"application/geo+json", "title":"This document as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/63108?f=json" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"application/ld+json", "title":"This document as RDF (JSON-LD)", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/63108?f=jsonld" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"text/html", "title":"This document as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/63108?f=html" }, { "rel":"collection", "type":"application/json", "title":"USACE Access2Water API", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr" } ] }
