National Dam Inspection Program. High Point Lake, NDI Number PA-231. Ohio River Basin, Negro Glade Run, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Based on a visual inspection, past performance, and available engineering data, the facility is considered in good condition. The spillway and reservoir are capable of passing and/or storing the flow resulting from a storm of PMF magnitude without overtopping; consequently, the spillway is considered adequate. It is recommended that the owner: (a) Fill in the erosion gullies that have developed to the right of the spillway sidewall with materials that will retard further erosion. The seepage should also be monitored to insure that the condition does not worsen, (b) Develop a formal warning system to notify downstream residents should hazardous conditions develop, and (c) Develop a manual for the operation and maintenance of the outlet works at the facility.
