Summary
This sediment pond sits in Richhill Township and is designed for the purpose of managing sediment and runoff in the area. With a dam height of 32 feet and a storage capacity of 35 acre-feet, this earth dam plays a crucial role in protecting the local environment and water resources.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment, Bailey Sediment Pond No 1 poses a high hazard potential due to its location and purpose. The dam, with a length of 300 feet, serves as a vital structure in the area, with a drainage area of 0.15 square miles and a surface area of 2.4 acres. The mine safety and health administration oversee regulatory aspects of the pond, ensuring proper inspections and enforcement measures are in place to maintain its integrity.
In the event of an emergency, it is important for local authorities to have an updated emergency action plan in place for Bailey Sediment Pond No 1. Regular inspections are conducted to assess the condition of the dam, with the last inspection taking place in September 2020. With its crucial role in sediment and runoff management, this structure exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management practices 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.
