Summary
8 Slurry Impoundment, located in Greene, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This earth dam, with a height of 317 feet and a length of 2200 feet, serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." It has a storage capacity of 12,920 acre-feet and covers an area of 89 acres, with a drainage area of 0.3 square miles.
The dam's high hazard potential and the lack of a condition assessment rating indicate the need for close monitoring and potential risk management measures. While the structure has not been inspected or assessed in recent years, it is important to prioritize the safety and integrity of the impoundment, especially given its location near the TR BOOTHE RUN river or stream. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in tracking the updates and actions taken by regulatory agencies to ensure the safety of the surrounding environment and communities.
As an opportunity for further exploration and research, Bailey No. 8 Slurry Impoundment presents a case study for understanding the complexities of managing water resources in relation to industrial activities. The impoundment's association with the coal industry and its potential environmental impacts underscore the importance of balancing economic development with sustainable water management practices. By staying informed about the regulatory oversight and maintenance of structures like Bailey No. 8, enthusiasts can contribute to efforts aimed at safeguarding water resources and addressing climate-related challenges 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.
