Tailings Pond No. 1 is a private-owned structure located in Green River, Wyoming, with a low hazard potential. The dam is primarily used for tailings disposal and stands at a height of 38 feet with a length of 1100 feet. Although it is not regulated by the state, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Mine Safety and Health Administration for inspections and enforcement. The pond has a storage capacity of 600 acre-feet and is not currently in use for any other purposes.

Despite its non-regulated status, Tailings Pond No. 1 poses a low risk due to its condition assessment being currently unavailable. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment for the pond are also not provided in the data. Its location in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and proximity to the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers make it an important structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor for potential environmental impacts. While it may not currently have a significant impact on its surroundings, regular monitoring and maintenance of Tailings Pond No. 1 will be essential to ensure its safe operation and prevent any potential hazards in the future.
