Summary
The dam stands at a height of 37 feet and has a storage capacity of 155 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 149 acre-feet. Situated on the Lake Sakakawea-TR river or stream, this structure is regulated and permitted by the North Dakota State Water Commission, ensuring regular inspections and enforcement actions to maintain its integrity.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk rating, Sediment Pond P-H25-01 plays a crucial role in managing sediment runoff in the area. Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it meets regulatory guidelines and is subject to periodic inspections. The structure has an uncontrolled spillway type and is associated with no other structures, highlighting its standalone function in sediment retention. Despite being privately owned, Sediment Pond P-H25-01 serves a vital purpose in environmental conservation and water resource management in Mercer, North Dakota.
As a key component in sediment control and water quality management, Sediment Pond P-H25-01 underscores the importance of private ownership in maintaining critical infrastructure for climate resilience. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam represents a sustainable solution for sediment accumulation in the region. Governed by the North Dakota State Water Commission and meeting state regulatory requirements, this structure stands as a testament to effective collaboration between private owners and regulatory agencies in safeguarding water resources and mitigating environmental risks in the area.

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.
