National Dam Inspection Program. Hunters Lake Dam (NDS ID Number PA-356 DER ID Number 57-1), Susquehanna River Basin, Trout Run, Sullivan Court, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Hunters Lake Dam is an earthfill dam 450 feet long and 27 feet high. The upstream slope is 3H:1V with concrete paving blocks acting as slope protection. The upstream slope in the lower portion is 3.5H:1V. The downstream slope is 2.5H:1V and grassed. The embankment is homogeneous with a rock toe. Upstream of the dam is a concrete control tower which contains the principal spillway. Flow enters the concrete spillway tower and drops down the tower and into a 48 inch reinforced concrete pipe to an impact basin at the toe of the dam. In addition, the concrete spillway tower has a 4 foot by 5 foot sluice gate to act as a reservoir drain. The emergency spillway is located in a natural saddle at the opposite end of the reservoir. The emergency spillway has a 300 foot long concrete slab. (Author)
