Summary

Built in 2006 by THE COTEAU PROPERTIES CO., this structure serves as a crucial water management resource for the region, with a storage capacity of 376 acre-feet and a surface area of 15.4 acres. The dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans 1215 feet in length, providing essential flood control and sediment retention for the West Branch Antelope Creek-TR.

Managed by the North Dakota State Water Commission, Sediment Pond P-W32-02 is inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is categorized as having a moderate risk level, indicating the need for ongoing risk management measures. With uncontrolled spillway type and a spillway width of 176 feet, the structure is designed to handle the drainage needs of its 0.18 square mile drainage area, contributing to the overall water resource management efforts in Mercer County.

While currently in a not rated condition assessment status, Sediment Pond P-W32-02 plays a vital role in water conservation efforts in the region. With a focus on sediment control and flood prevention, this earth dam represents a sustainable approach to managing water resources in North Dakota, aligning with state regulatory guidelines and serving as a critical infrastructure for safeguarding the surrounding communities from potential water-related risks.

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. 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

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, 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.
