Summary

Description
English: Honorable Hal Rogers, U.S. Representative, Kentucky 5th District speaks to a crowd during a Completion Ceremony of rehabilitation work for the Wolf Creek Dam Friday, April 19, 2013 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Russell County schools Auditorium/Natatorium. Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumberland River in south central Kentucky. The lake’s huge water storage capability provides downstream communities with important flood risk reduction, and additional water resources supporting commercial navigation, water supply, water quality, hydropower, and environmental benefits. Lake Cumberland is the largest reservoir east of the Mississippi and the ninth largest in the United States. It impounds 6,089,000 acre-feet at its maximum pool elevation of 760. Since January 2007 the Corps has operated the reservoir at its current lower level to reduce water pressure against the dam and its limestone foundation. The barrier wall is designed to stop seepage through the karst limestone geology in the foundation of the earthen embankment section of the dam.
