National Dam Inspection Report. Nockamixon State Park Dam (PA-00734), Delaware River Basin, Tohickon Creek, Bucks County: Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Nockamixon State Park Dam has been in continual service since 1974, and is jointly owned and operated by the Department of Environmental Resources and the General State Authority. It has been classified as a 'Large' dam with a 'High' hazard potential. Based on the visual inspection, evaluation of records, and past operational performance, the dam is judged to be in good condition with remedial work necessary for future operation of the outlet works. The dam was designed to pass, without overtopping, the probable maximum flood (PMF). Therfore, the spillway is considered 'Adequate.' The visual inspection of the dam and reservoir facilities detected no symptoms of uncontrolled seepage, instability, significant deterioration or other conditions that would suggest impending hazardous conditions. In summary, examination of the available data and results of the visual inspection reveals no condition or evidence detrimental to the integrity of the dam or appurtenances.
