National Dam Inspection Program. Hankins Pond Dam (NDI ID Number PA-00169, DER ID Number 64-40), Delaware River Basin, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The general appearance of Hankins Pond Dam is fair. However, at the time of inspection, the reservoir had been drawn down to about the level of the sluiceway bottom. All stoplogs are removed in the fall for fish management Seepage and leakage, reported by the owners' representatives as occurring when the reservoir is at normal pool, could not be observed. The visual inspection check list is in Appendix A of this report. This appendix also contains sketches of survey information obtained during the inspection. The dam and its appurtenant structure appear to be in fair condition. It is recommended that brush and trees on the embankment and near the toe of the downstream wall be removed and annually controlled. If the screens in the sluiceway are not used for specific reasons, it appears that removal of the screens would improve the hydraulic conditions and reduce the hazards of blocking the outlet. The concrete wall, where it is crushed at the strut support, should be evaluated. This will determine if repair or additional support is required. Careful study should be made to definitely establish the source, clarity and volume of flow through the wall into the catch-basin when the reservoir is at normal pool elevation and if found to be excessive or otherwise hazardous, immediate steps shall be taken to correct the condition. The woodchuck hole to the right of the spillway should be filled.
