Summary

Constructed in 1955, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 135 feet and stretches over 4850 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 4890 acre-feet, the pond serves a primary purpose that is classified as 'Other', indicating its role in water management within the region. Despite being regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the dam has a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment.

Situated along the TR Whiteley Creek, Robena Slurry Pond No 4 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. While it has not undergone any modifications in recent years, the structure undergoes regular inspections every five years, with the last assessment conducted in July 2018. Owned privately, the pond falls under the jurisdiction of the state and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a surface area of 18 acres and a drainage area of 0.69 square miles, this dam contributes to the overall water management system in the region.

Managed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, Robena Slurry Pond No 4 is an integral part of the water infrastructure in Greene County. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition, the dam provides essential storage capacity for water resources in the area. As a significant structure along the TR Whiteley Creek, the pond's role in water management and environmental protection underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring such water resource facilities for the benefit of the local community and ecosystem.

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.
