National Dam Inspection Program. Brandonville Pumping Station Dam (NDS ID Number PA-661 DER ID Number 54-58) Susquehanna River Basin, Davis Run, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Brandonville Pumping Station Dam is an earthfill dam, 374 feet long and approximately 21 feet high. The top width varies from approximately 24 feet to 52 feet. The upstream slope is 1.5H:1V and protected with grouted riprap. The downstream slope is formed by a dry masonry wall and varies from 1H:1V to nearly vertical. A 4 foot wide walkway is provided near the center of the downstream slope at the right abutment. The spillway is located on the right abutment and consists of a grouted masonry lined overflow. The spillway is 40 feet wide and near ogee in shape. The inspection and review of data of Brandonville Pumping Station Dam did not reveal any problems which require emergency action. The dam appears to be in fair condition but poorly maintained. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling 6% of the PMF. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed inadequate, but not seriously inadequate.
