Summary
The pond is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and is used for purposes other than water storage. It is classified as an earth dam with a height of 39 feet and a length of 480 feet, providing a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet.
The dam's hazard potential is rated as high, but its condition assessment is deemed satisfactory as of the last inspection in September 2020. Despite being constructed with buttress core types and an unlisted/unknown foundation, the pond has a normal storage capacity of 9.5 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 1.5 acres. The structure has not been modified since 2013 and does not have any associated structures or outlet gates.
While Bailey Sediment Pond No 2 presents a high hazard potential, its current condition is satisfactory, ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding area. As a crucial water resource in the region, ongoing inspections and maintenance are essential to mitigate any potential risks and ensure the continued functionality of the dam. The pond serves as a vital component in managing sediment and water flow in the area, contributing to the overall environmental sustainability and climate resilience of the region.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
