National Dam Inspection Program. Bryant Pond Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00544 DER I.D. Number 40-11), Susquehanna River Basin, Harveys Creek, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Bryant Pond Dam is an earthfill and rockfill dam with a concrete core-wall. The earthfill extends along the upstream side of the core-wall and the rockfill extends along the downstream side. The dam, including the main and auxiliary spillways, is 425 feet long. The design height is 19 feet. The main spillway is located near the left abutment of the dam. It is a series of concrete slabs forming a cascade to the natural stream. Other than its exterior lines and grades, details of the main spillway are unknown. The main spillway crest is 40 feet long and 5 feet below the design top of the dam. The auxiliary spillway was designed to be a 175-foot long by 2-foot deep notch in the concrete core-wall. It was constructed 200 feet long. The auxiliary spillway was designed to allow water to flow over the rockfill on the downstream slope of the embankment. The outlet works is located directly to the right of the main spillway. It consists of two 2-foot square concrete conduits with concrete sluice gates at the upstream end. The various features of the dam, as designed, are shown on the Plates at the end of the report. The existing features are shown in Appendix D. (Author)
