Completed in 1987, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 73 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for tailings storage, with a surface area of 4.7 acres and a drainage area of 0.11 square miles. The dam is designed with an uncontrolled spillway and two outlet gates, providing a maximum discharge of 10,102 cubic feet per second.
Despite its importance, Reclamation Pond 017 has not been rated for its condition, presenting a moderate risk level. The dam has undergone modifications in 2005, but its hazard potential and emergency preparedness information are not available. The surrounding Long Branch Creek contributes to the dam's water source, highlighting the interconnectedness of water resources and climate in this region. With its location in a private ownership setting, the management and maintenance of Reclamation Pond 017 are essential for ensuring water security and mitigating potential risks in the face of changing climate patterns.
