National Dam Inspection Program. Ebensburg Storage Dam (NDI ID Number PA-00442, DER ID Number 11-61), Ohio River Basin (Moores Woods Run) Howells Run, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Reports,

Abstract

Based on the evaluation of the conditions, Ebensburg Storage Dam is considered to be unsafe/nonemergency due to the presence of slumps and wet areas on the downstream slope of the dam. Detailed investigation of the dam to control the seepage and slumping on the downstream face of the dam is recommended. It is reported that the outlet pipe gate has not been operated in the recent past. It is therefore recommended that the owner evaluate the operational condition of the pipe gate and perform the necessary maintenance.
