National Dam Inspection Program. SCS Dam PA-419 (NDI Number PA-00086 DER Number 64-170), Delaware River Basin, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
This flood control dam consists of a 420-foot-long homogeneous earthfill embankment with a maximum height of 29 feet above the streambed. The structure has two spillways. The principal spillway is a drop inlet structure and discharges through a 24-inch diameter pipe. An emergency spillway is located in the right abutment. This spillway consists of a grassed earth channel with a bottom channel width of 41 feet. The emergency spillway crest is 5 feet below the top of the dam. Based on the visual inspection, past performance and the available engineering data, the dam and its appurtenant structures appear to be in good condition. The spillway capacity is adequate to pass the PMF peak inflow without overtopping the dam, and is considered to be adequate.
