Jeddo Coal Co - Jeddo #8 Prep Plant dam
Jeddo Coal Co - Jeddo #8 Prep Plant
The Jeddo Coal CO - Jeddo #8 Prep Plant in Harleigh, Pennsylvania, serves as a vital water supply resource with a primary purpose of water supply. Owned privately, the Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 10,299 acre-feet. Despite being regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the dam has a low hazard potential and its condition assessment is currently not available.
Located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, this water resource infrastructure plays a crucial role in providing water to the surrounding area. While the dam's last inspection date was in 2004, there is no recorded information on its condition assessment or emergency preparedness measures. With a low hazard potential, the Jeddo #8 Prep Plant dam remains an essential component of the water supply system in the region.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the Jeddo Coal CO - Jeddo #8 Prep Plant's role in water supply management intriguing. As a privately owned Earth-type dam with a low hazard potential, its significance in maintaining water supply infrastructure in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, cannot be understated. Although details on its condition assessment and emergency preparedness are not available, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose efficiently while being regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Jeddo Coal Co - Jeddo #8 Prep Plant
Where does the data for Jeddo Coal Co - Jeddo #8 Prep Plant come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
