4 As of 2/13/2018 Kentucky Silver Jackets Program Authorization: USACE Flood Risk Management Program Kentucky Silver Jackets Projects: o City of Liberty Since 2010, the City has endured two major flood events. This project will assess the current watershed uses to determine measures that may be undertaken to mitigate the flooding hazards within the City and to develop a best practices resilience plan to address the impacts of recent floods. Active Location and Description: Projects are located throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Silver Jackets teams in states across the United States bring together multiple state, federal, and sometimes tribal and local agencies to learn from one another in reducing flood risk and other natural disasters. By applying their shared knowledge, the teams enhance response and recovery efforts when such events do occur. While some states do not use the Silver Jackets name, there are a growing number of states applying the Silver Jackets approach the ultimate goal is a state-led interagency team in every state. No single agency has all the answers, but leveraging multiple programs and perspectives can provide a cohesive solution. Although each state Silver Jackets team is unique, common agency participants include state agencies with mission areas of hazard mitigation, emergency management, floodplain management, natural resources management or conservation, etc. Federal participation typically includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and often others such as the National Weather Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. o o o Turn Around Don t Drown This project aims to reduce loss of life and property by educating Kentucky drivers through public service announcements about the dangers of driving into flooded roads. LiDAR Data Assessment for Daviess County This project proposes to use LiDAR data to establish methodology to identify artificial levees that pose potential future flood risks along streams in Daviess County, Kentucky. Flood Inundation Mapping in Hazard, KY This project will create a library of inundation maps of the North Fork of the Kentucky River that can be used with NWS flood forecast and USGS real-time streamflow data to provide maps detailing predicted areas and depth of flooding. Non-Federal Sponsor: Kentucky Division of Water Kentucky Emergency Management Agency The Kentucky Geological Service Multiple Local Governments and Agencies Federal Sponsors: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Weather Service (NWS) Activities for FY 2018: Complete LiDAR data analysis for Daviess County, KY; Finalize Flood Inundation Mapping along the North Fork of the Kentucky River, in Hazard, KY; Initiate the City of Liberty Flood Mitigation Analysis; Initiate the Turn Around Don t Drown media campaign. Issues and Other Information: None

5 Dam Safety, Kentucky Kentucky Dams - Special Studies As of 2/13/2018 Summarized Financial Data: The Dam Safety Special Studies are part of a national program with funds distributed by the Corps of Engineers (USACE) Headquarters Dam Safety Office on a priority basis Barren Lake Dam, KY Study Project Location: Barren Lake Dam, Buckhorn Lake Dam, Carr Creek Lake Dam, Cave Run Lake Dam, Green River Lake Dam, Nolin Lake Dam, Rough River Lake Dam, and Taylorsville Lake Dam (See next pages for site specific information) Study and Program Information: During normal operations, these dams are routinely inspected daily, weekly, and monthly by USACE Operations staff and annually by Louisville District dam safety staff. The dam also receives a comprehensive inspection every five years by a multi-discipline team of Louisville District engineers. The USACE has instituted a risk informed dam safety program. The initial step was conducting a Screening Portfolio Risk Assessment (SPRA). A team of engineers conducted a screening level review of the dam s construction, performance history, and instrumentation to evaluate current dam behavior, as well as economic consequences and the population at risk of potential dam failure. After the initial screening, the risk is reevaluated every ten years as part of a routine Periodic Assessment (PA) in conjunction with the 5 year comprehensive site inspection. The findings are reviewed by the Dam Senior Oversight Group (DSOG) and a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) rating is assigned based upon confirmed or unconfirmed dam safety issues and the combination of life or economic consequences should failure occur. The DSAC ratings are used to prioritize further study to confirm the proposed dam safety issues. If the DSAC rating is 1 through 3, an Interim Risk Reduction Measures (IRRM) Plan is established while further investigations are conducted and/or remedial actions are implemented as necessary. The first study phase is an Issue Evaluation Study (IES) which confirms the dam safety issue. Should more information be necessary to confirm the issues, an IES Phase II study may be undertaken to gather the necessary data to reduce the uncertainty. The results of these studies are presented to the USACE Risk Management Center (RMC) and the DSOG. The results may indicate the need to progress to the next phase of study or reduce the DSAC rating for the dam. If the case is made that the dam is in need of remedial construction then the project moves to the Dam Safety Modification Report (DSMR). The DSMR report analyzes potential remedial construction elements to determine the best fix to reduce the overall project risk. These studies and remedial construction are prioritized based upon the relative risk estimates at each stage to best make use of the available funding and resources.

Other recommendations were to install additional instrumentation in right and left abutments, and to update the current IRRMs. Remedial construction is not warranted at this time. This structure has been reprioritized in the risk study queue. * FY2018 Planned Activities: Routine O&M surveillance and monitoring program. Rough River Lake Dam, KY (See detailed Fact Sheet for additional information) * DSAC (Dam Safety Action Classification) Rating: Class 2 * IRRMP (Interim Risk Reduction Measures Plan): Completed 15 April 2008 * A Dam Safety Modification Report (DSMR) was completed in July The DSMR addressed unacceptable foundation conditions and associated seepage and identified a need for major rehabilitation in order to remove uncertainty and lower project risk. * There is no emergency or imminent threat. However, failure of this dam from seepage/piping would result in catastrophic effects downstream including loss of life and significant economic losses. * FY 2018 Planned Activities: The Phase 2 Cutoff Wall contract advertisement was scheduled for November 2017, but was cancelled due to concerns regarding the structural integrity of the existing conduit during and after construction of the proposed cutoff wall. The Project Delivery Team is currently reevaluating design alternatives. The team is tasked with providing preliminary designs, assessing constructability concerns, effectiveness at risk reduction, environmental impacts, and cost for each alternative. Project completion date is to be determined pending resolution of the way forward.
