National Dam Inspection Program. Leaser Lake Dam (Jacksonville Lake)(ID PA 00787), Schuylkill River Basin, Jacksonville Branch, Ontelaunee Creek, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.
Abstract
Leaser Lake Dam is owned by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission and was designed by the G. Edwin Pidcock Company of Allentown, Pennsyl,vania. Leaser Lake Dam was constructed on the Jacksonville Branch of Ontelaunee Creek Approximately 1/2 mile above its confluence of Ontelaunee in Lehigh County, Lynn Township, Pennsylvania. The facility is considered to be in good condition and reasonably well maintained. The dam is considered a 'High' hazard potential structure consistent with its potential for extensive property damage and of possible loss of life downstream. The design data and other supplemental information pertinent to this dam were sufficient to evaluate the embankment and appurtenant structures. Leaser Lake Dam was evaluated to pass the probable maximum flood (PMF) without overtopping. Therefore, the spillway is considered 'Adequate.'
