National Dam Inspection Program. Trout Run Dam National I. D. Number (PA00797), Schuylkill River Basin, Trout Run, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The visual inspection of the dam and reservoir facilities detected no deterioration of the embankment or the appurtenant facilities to suggest an impending hazardous condition. However, some undesirable seepage was noted to be occurring through and immediately above the downstream rock toe drain. Seepage was also noted immediately above the impact basin through the rock toe drain. Flow was also noted through the pond drain although it was reported that the sluice gate was closed. This flow through both the rock fill toe and impact basin is unexplained and should be evaluated. Considering the adjudged good condition of the dam, the recommendations presented are suggested to insure that the dam continues to function as designed and to insure that the residents downstream are warned when impending high flows are expected along the creek. These recommendations are presented in order of priority, but does not infer that the latter recommendations are not important.
