National Dam Inspection Report. Goldsboro Dam (NDS ID PA 00149, DER ID 64-148), Delaware River Basin, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Gouldsboro Dam is owned by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. The dam abuts a higher, wider railroad embankment. According to DER files, Gouldsboro Dam was built in 1895 and at least the outlet portion of the drop inlet discharge conduit was built in 1912. The facility is considered to be in fair condition and classified as a 'Significant' hazard potential structure. Hydrologic and hydraulic calculations indicate the dam will not be overtopped during the Probable Maximum Flood. Excess flows will pass over natural ground at the northeast end of the lake across Route 507 at Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania, and eventually into Snag Pond. Visual inspection of the dam and reservoir detected no significant problems other than an unserviceable drain gate. Since the dam and railroad embankment have a combined crest width on the order of 85 feet and would not overtop during large storms, it is judged that the stability of the embankment is adequate.
