2008 Inspections of Kentucky Watershed Structures

Updated 02/22/2008

This year, the Kentucky Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will be working with local watershed sponsors, such as watershed conservancy districts, to schedule on-site inspections of all watershed dams planned and approved under the authority of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 (P.L. 83-566), and the Flood Control Act of 1944 (P.L. 78-534). This effort is to insure that each watershed structure is compliant with the current operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement and to visually verify the hazard class rating of each structure. NRCS has set a goal to have all 199 dams inspected by April 1, 2008.
