National Dam Inspection Program. Upper Kittanning Dam. NDI ID Number 530. Susquehanna River Basin, Burgoon Run, Blair County, Pennsylvania. Phase I. Inspection Program.

Abstract

Based on the evaluation of the conditions as they existed on the dates of inspection and as revealed by visual observations, the condition of the Upper Kittanning Reservoir is considered to be fair. However, city maintenance personnel reported that upstream control for the lake blow-off pipe is not operational and the discharge through this pipe is controlled by downstream valves. Thus, the pipe is constantly under pressure. It is recommended that the owner immediately perform the necessary maintenance to the upstream controls located at the intake tower to make them operational. (Author)
