This earth dam, standing at a height of 100 feet with a hydraulic height of 95 feet, serves primarily for tailings storage. The dam has a storage capacity of 8,320 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 5,824 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 416 acres and draining an area of 0.65 square miles.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 64 feet, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 110 cubic feet per second. Despite its significant hazard potential and very high risk assessment ranking, the dam's condition has not been rated, and there is no reported inspection history or emergency action plan in place. With its location near an unnamed pond and the potential impact on surrounding areas in case of failure, Keysville (S) stands as a critical structure in need of further assessment and risk management measures to ensure the safety of the local community and water resources.
Given the lack of recent data on inspection, condition assessment, and emergency preparedness, there is a pressing need for regulatory oversight and enforcement to ensure the proper maintenance and operation of Keysville (S). Climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates should monitor developments related to this dam to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to mitigate risks and safeguard the environmental and public health in the region.
