National Dam Inspection Program. Cadjaw Dam, (NDS I.D. Number PA-00168, DER I.D. Number 64-10). Delaware River Basin, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Cadjaw Pond Dam is owned by the Honesdale consolidated Water Co., and was once used as an emergency water supply source for the city and surrounding area. Currently, the dam has no immediate purpose for the water company except in the extreme event that water is needed as a supplemental source. The dam is in an obvious state of disrepair and severely neglected. Further, there are a large number of unknowns concerning the overall stability of the embankment. Until such time as appropriate studies are made and needed repairs performed, the dam should be considered unsafe. Based on this, seven recommendations are presented with the anticipation that it is desired to keep the structure and reservoir in service. If there is no need to maintain this structure, or if rehabilitative costs are excessive, an alternate solution would be to breach the structure under the guidance of a Professional Engineer, and allow the water level to reach the preexisting level of the natural lake.
