Completed in 2005, this earth dam on Swift Creek stands at 45 feet high with a hydraulic height of 40 feet and a structural height of 50 feet. It serves the primary purpose of storing tailings, with a storage capacity of 30,000 acre-feet and a surface area of 664 acres.
With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Sa 9 S.C has a controlled spillway with a width of 128 feet and uncontrolled outlet gates. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available on emergency action plans or risk management measures. The dam's inspection frequency and date are also unknown, highlighting the need for increased monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and integrity for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
