National Dam Inspection Program. Pine Run Dam (SCS PA-616) (NDS ID PA 00800 DER ID 9-170), Delaware River Basin, Pine Run Creek, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Pine Run Dam is a homogeneous embankment with an impervious cutoff trench beneath the centerline of the embankment. The dam is approximately 2,700 feet long and the height, measured from the stream bed to the crest, is 31.8 feet. Embankment fill was obtained from emergency spillway excavation and borrow areas within the reservoir. Zone I materials used in the cutoff trench are classified as low plastic silts, and Zone 2 materials are slightly less plastic but still classified as low plastic silts. The embankment internal drainage system discharges through the sidewalls of Saint Anthony's Falls (SAF) stilling basin at the downstream toe. The upstream slope is 3H:1V and the downstream slope is 2.5H:1V. The crest is 14 feet wide at elevation 287.8. The upstream slope has a 15 foot wide berm at approximately elevation 265, the normal sediment pool level.
