National Dam Inspection Program. Lake Nessmuk Dam (NDI ID Number PA-00032), DER ID Number 59-66, SCS ID Number PA-601), Susquehanna River Basin, Morris Branch, Marsh Creek, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Nessmuk Dam is judged to be in good condition. The existing spillway can pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as adequate. There is a slope stability analysis for the embankment, and it indicates that the embankment has adequate factors of safety. There is no evidence of problems threatening the embankment. The visual inspection (25 July 1979) revealed that it is uncertain that the gate is operational. (Author)
