National Dam Inspection Program. PA-467 Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00054, DER I.D. Number 58-131, SCS I.D. Number PA-467) Susquehanna County Commissioners, Susquehanna River Basin, Tributary to Martins Creek. Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
The dam consists of a zoned, earthfill embankment that is 590 feet long and 52 feet high at its maximum section. The main spillway is a drop spillway located near the right abutment of the dam. It consists of a concrete riser connected to a 30-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe under the embankment. The auxiliary spillway is an excavated channel along the left abutment of the dam. It is a grass-linked excavation in earth. Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, PA-467 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 significant problems threatening the embankment.
