Summary
2 Slurry Pond, located in Whiteley Township, Greene, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned earth dam structure that stands at a towering height of 370 feet. This dam, designed primarily for purposes other than flood control, holds a significant storage capacity of 3815.3 acre-feet of water. The dam is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and is subject to regular inspections by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, highlighting its importance in maintaining safety and environmental standards.
The high hazard potential of Cumberland No. 2 Slurry Pond warrants continuous monitoring and risk assessment, with a current condition assessment of "satisfactory." The dam's spillway type is noted as uncontrolled, suggesting the need for careful management of water discharge during periods of high precipitation. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been modified in recent years, underscoring the importance of proactive maintenance and emergency preparedness to mitigate potential risks associated with this critical water resource infrastructure in the region.
With its location along TR Whiteley Creek and its significant storage capacity, Cumberland No. 2 Slurry Pond serves as a vital component of water resource management in the area. Its condition, hazard potential, and risk assessment underscore the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this essential infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions and water resource demands.

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.
