National Dam Inspection Program. Fawn Lake Dam, ID Number PA00693. Schuylkill River Basin, Plum Creek, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Fawn Lake Dam is owned by the Lake Wynonah Property Owners Association and is located in South Mannheim Township in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The dam was designed by the original owner, American Realty Service Corporation of Memphis, Tennessee. The embankment was completed on May 12, 1971, and has been in service ever since. The facility is judged to be in reasonably good operating condition. Calculations indicate that the spillway systems are capable of passing the probable maximum flood (PMF). Therefore, the spillway is considered to be 'Adequate'. Seepage was noted emanating from the downstream slope and along the toe of the dam, but there were no indications at this time that this condition is potentially hazardous. No indications of slope distortion, embankment slides or other condition indicative of a potentially unstable embankment were noted.
