National Dam Inspection Program. Campbells Ledge Dam NDII.D.-PA-00649 (DERI.D.-40-19), Susquehanna River Basin, Campbells Ledge Creek, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Campbells Ledge Dam is two homogeneous earthfill embankments, both with reinforced-concrete core walls. The embankments are located at either end of the reservoir, which extends in a north-south direction. The north, or upstream, embankment is 590 feet long and 12 feet high at its maximum section. A canal flows into the reservoir at the east end of the embankment. The canal carries discharges from Falling Springs Dam. The flows are diverted into the canal to Campbells Ledge Dam by the Falling Springs Diversion Structure. The north embankment has no outlet works or spillway. The south, or downstream, embankment is 750 feet long and 33 feet high at its maximum section. A morning glory spillway, whose variable crest elevation weir is 14 feet in diameter, is located near the middle of the embankment. The dam is located on Campbells Ledge Creek, 1.5 miles northwest of Duryea, Pennsylvania.
