National Dam Inspection Report. Marcel Lake Dam. NDI - PA 00402, PA DER 52-149. Delaware River Basin, Dingmans Creek, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Marcel Lake Dam is an earth fill embankment with a clay core. The embankment is approximately 675 feet long with a maximum height of about 23 feet. A 60-foot long overflow spillway is located between the embankment and the left abutment. The dam was designed with 6.5 feet of freeboard above the spillway crest. Training walls extend a short distance upstream and downstream of the spillway, and riprap slope protection is provided along the banks of the approach channel. A reinforced concrete apron extends approximately 20 feet downstream of the spillway. The apron varies in width, from 60 feet at the base of the spillway to 25 feet at the junction with a grouted riprap lined channel. The channel has a 25-foot base width and side slopes of 1 horizontal to 1 vertical (1H:1V), and extends about 150 feet downstream of the apron. A 30-inch corrugated metal pipe encased in concrete is provided as a low level outlet. Discharge through the pipe is controlled by a hand-wheel operated sluice gate on the outlet structure. The outlet structure is located at the toe of the upstream face of the embankment. (Author)
