The dam, standing at a height of 20 feet, has a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet and is associated with the Mine Safety and Health Administration for regulatory oversight. Despite its small drainage area of 1.16 square miles, the pond has a maximum discharge rate of 1770 cubic feet per second, highlighting its importance in managing sediment runoff in the area.
With an uncontrolled spillway and one outlet gate, Sediment Pond No 023 poses a moderate risk, according to the data available. The dam's condition is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in February 2011. While the hazard potential is not available, the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level. The lack of recent condition assessments and emergency action plans raises concerns about the safety and maintenance of this structure, calling for increased monitoring and management to ensure its continued effectiveness in sediment control and flood prevention in the region.
