National Dam Inspection Program. Memorial Lake Dam (NDI Number PA-00603, DER Number 38-80), Susquehanna River Basin, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Memorial Lake Dam was constructed in 1945 as a recreational facility for the Indiantown Gap Military Reservation. The 760 foot long rolled earthfill embankment has a maximum fill height of 37 feet above the original streambed. Reference is made to Appendix F, Plates III and IV, for a general plan and typical section. A cutoff trench was excavated along the centerline of the dam and a concrete cutoff wall was placed in this trench. A 110 foot long ogee spillway was excavated in the left abutment. It has a weir crest elevation of 430.0, which is 8 feet below the top of dam. The ogee discharges the water to an eight foot deep stilling basin. A control tower is located 12.5 feet upstream from the centerline dam. Flow through the 48-inch conduit is controlled inside the tower by a 48-inch sluice gate or by a gated weir also located inside the tower and near normal pool elevation.(Author)
