Summary
This structure, regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, holds a storage capacity of 1830 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 22.5 acres. It is associated with the Meadow Run stream and falls under the jurisdiction of the Mine Safety and Health Administration for regulatory and inspection purposes.
Despite being classified as having a significant hazard potential, Labelle Slurry Pond No 2 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection date was in December 2017, with an inspection frequency of every 2 years. While there are no emergency action plans currently in place, the dam meets state permitting and inspection requirements. With its close proximity to the Meadow Run stream and a drainage area of 94.1 square miles, this reservoir plays a crucial role in water resource management in Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
This dam serves a primary purpose classified as 'Other' and is designated as a buttress-type earth dam. While specific details regarding its construction year and spillway type are not provided, Labelle Slurry Pond No 2 remains an essential component of the local infrastructure. With its notable storage capacity and location in a significant watershed area, this structure impacts the hydrology and climate resilience of the region, making it of particular interest to water resource and climate enthusiasts.

Dam Data Reference
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.
