Summary
This earth-type dam has a height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 363 acre-feet, making it a crucial structure for managing sediment and water flow in the area. It falls under the jurisdiction of the North Dakota State Water Commission and is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Sediment Pond P-D15-03 is considered to have a moderate risk level, requiring ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. The dam has not been rated for its condition, but it has been modified in 2011 for unspecified reasons. The lack of detailed data on the dam's condition and inspection frequency highlights the need for continued assessment and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in sediment control and water resource management.
With a primary purpose of 'Other' and a spillway type of 'Uncontrolled', Sediment Pond P-D15-03 serves a vital role in protecting downstream areas from sediment buildup and ensuring proper drainage during extreme weather events. The dam's location in Mercer County, North Dakota, and its association with the Mine Safety and Health Administration for regulatory oversight emphasize the importance of this structure in safeguarding water resources and the environment in 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.
