About Bailey Mine Fresh Water Imp
The primary purpose of Bailey Mine Fresh Water Imp is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Consol Pa Coal Co Llc (private). It impounds the Tr Talley Run.
The dam stands 164 feet tall and stretches 1,000 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 24 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 1,000 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. Completed in 1984, the structure is 42 years old.
This dam carries a high hazard potential classification, which means that a failure or uncontrolled release of water would likely cause loss of human life. This classification reflects the consequences of failure, not the likelihood — it indicates that people live or work in the area downstream. Its condition is rated satisfactory, indicating no existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. An emergency action plan is in place for this dam.
