Summary
Completed in 1988, this dam has a height of 26 feet and a storage capacity of 190 acre-feet, making it a crucial structure for water resource management in the area. The dam is regulated by the North Dakota State Water Commission, with inspection, permitting, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Bni Coal Pd 02-01 is considered a reliable structure for flood control and water storage. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate for water release and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam has undergone modifications in 1989 to enhance its structural integrity. Overall, Bni Coal Pd 02-01 plays a vital role in water management within the region, supported by state regulatory agencies and the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
As a part of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's oversight, Bni Coal Pd 02-01 is subject to regular inspections to ensure its compliance with safety regulations. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other," indicating its versatile role in water resource management beyond flood control. With a designated emergency action plan and moderate risk management measures in place, Bni Coal Pd 02-01 stands as a key infrastructure for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor and support in the ongoing efforts to sustainably manage water in North Dakota.

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.
