National Dam Inspection Program. Dunmore Number 3 Dam (NDI ID Number PA-00376, DER ID Number 35-23), Susquehanna River Basin, Tributary to Little Roaring Brook, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Dunmore No. 3 Dam is judged to be in fair condition. The spillway can pass 70 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. If the low areas on the embankments were raised 0.5 foot to the design elevation, the spillway can pass 100 percent of the PMF with no freeboard remaining. The spillway capacity would then be rated as adequate.
