National Dam Inspection Program. Pocono Lake Dam (nds I.D. Number PA 00781 DER I.D. Number 45-222), Delaware River Basin, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Pocono Lake Dam is a concrete ogee spillway with concrete non-overflow sections keyed on each side into a zoned earth embankment. The embankment contains an upstream impervious fill protected with three feet of dumped riprap over a one foot filter bed. The facility is considered to be in good condition and well maintained. Hydrologic and hydraulic calculations indicate the dam will pass the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping. Therefore, the spillway system is considered to be 'Adequate'. Visual inspection of the dam and reservoir detected no significant problems with the structure. There was some leakage noted around the stilling basin walls, which was assessed to be drainage from the rock toe. Some minor cracking of the spillway walls was noted and the loss of some joint sealer was noted in the bride. These conditions are not considered to be critical.
