National Dam Inspection Program. Kephart Dam (NDS ID Number PA-00447, PennDER ID Number 14-89), Susquehanna River Basin, Black Moshannon Creek, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Based on a visual inspection, past performance, and available engineering data, the facility is considered to be in good condition. The facility is capable of passing and/or storing the flow resulting from a flood of PMF intensity without overtopping, consequently, the spillway is considered adequate. It is recommended that the owner: (a) Have the embankment crest surveyed and infill any low spots to restore the embankment section to its design elevation (1874.0). (b) Extend the riprap protection to the top of the dam along the emergency spillway-embankment junction to provide slope protection in the event the emergency spillway should discharge at or near full capacity. (c) Develop a warning system to provide for the notification of temporary downstream residents should hazardous conditions develop.
