North Low Dissolved Solids Imp is a privately owned dam located in Shippingport Borough, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. This earth dam, completed in 1974, stands at a height of 32 feet and has a length of 850 feet. It serves a primary purpose other than water supply or flood control, with a total storage capacity of 44.9 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 38.5 acre-feet.

The dam is situated in the watershed of the Ohio River and is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. It has a significant hazard potential but is currently deemed to be in satisfactory condition. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in November 2017, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 2 years. While the dam has no associated spillway or outlet gates, it covers a surface area of 3.11 acres and drains an area of 0.18 square miles.

Despite its relatively small size, North Low Dissolved Solids Imp plays a crucial role in the local water resource management system and contributes to the overall environmental health of the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is essential to monitor and maintain the integrity of structures like this dam to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water supply for future generations.
