A very significant mining subsidence created three ponds in 1916, which ended up joining around 1930 to form a single pond, located at the foot of slag heap no. 171, Mare à Goriaux, partly recolonized by vegetation.
The site of the body of water and the slag heap of the pond in Goriaux is part of the Raismes-Saint-Amand-Wallers national forest.
