Summary
This dam, standing at 32 feet tall and spanning 150 feet in length, provides a surface area of 0.5 acres and a storage capacity of 19.2 acre-feet. Situated on TR Wallace Run, this wetland is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, ensuring that state permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities are carried out.
While the Luzerne Coal CO Wetland has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment, it remains an important feature for local water resource and climate enthusiasts. With a drainage area of 0.23 square miles, this wetland serves as a recreational area for visitors and wildlife alike. Although the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and integrity.
As a part of the Huntingdon District in Pennsylvania, the Luzerne Coal CO Wetland offers a serene environment for outdoor activities and serves as a valuable resource for the surrounding community.

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.
