Beltzville Lake Lehigh River Basin, Pohopoco Creek, Pennsylvania. Condition Report. Dam, Outlet Works and Spillway Periodic Inspection Report Number 1, July 1970

Abstract

The first periodical inspection of Beltzville Lake Dam, Pohopoco Creek, was undertaken by representatives of the Office of the Chief of Engineer, North Atlantic Division and the Philadelphia District. The overall condition of the dam was very good with no significant cracking on the outlet works and no structural effects observed on the spillways although some of the weepholes in the spillway stabs were clogged with debris and required cleaning. Bridge movement was not observed and piezometers showed only minute and insignificant pressures. The inspection disclosed no serious problems but several minor deficiencies were noted in the embankment, particularly at contact with the abutments in the conduit and spillway. Repair measures were outlined to be undertaken to correct these deficiencies.
