Summary

This buttress-type dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 0.21 square miles, the pond has a maximum discharge of 1350 cubic feet per second and an uncontrolled spillway type.

Although the dam's hazard potential and condition assessment are listed as "Not Available" and "Not Rated" respectively, the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. The Mine Safety and Health Administration is responsible for regulating and inspecting this structure. The last inspection date was recorded in February 2011, and the dam has not been modified since its completion.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Sediment Pond No 022 an intriguing site to study, given its location in Leon County, Texas, and the various data points associated with its design and function. The structure's unique characteristics, such as its buttress core type and uncontrolled spillway, make it a noteworthy feature in the region's water management infrastructure. Further investigation into the dam's history, maintenance practices, and potential environmental impacts could provide valuable insights for those interested in sustainable water resource management.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
