National Dam Inspection Program. Group Camp Dam. (NDI Number PA 00259, PennDER Number 4-31), Ohio River Basin, Traverse Run, Phase 1 Inspection Report
Abstract
Group Camp Dam is located 1.1 miles upstream from Pennsylvania Route 18 on Traverse Creek in Raccoon State Park. The dam is an earthfill embankment (with central clay core) approximately 20 feet high (maximum) and 220 feet long. The spillway, curved in plan view, is located at the left abutment of the dam and consists of a concrete paved approach, small (in height) ogee weir, and discharge chute channel. The outlet works for the dam consist of a control tower 8 feet out from shore which houses a 16 inch gate valve. The outlet conduit is a 36 inch corrigated metal pipe which is encased in 6 inches of reinforced concrete with four anti-seep collars. The dam was found to be in good overall condition at the time of inspection. Several minor items of remedial work should be performed by the owner as soon as practicable. The spillway is considered adequate.
