National Dam Inspection Program. Neal Dam (NDI Number PA-00494, PennDER Number 63-68), Ohio River Basin, Branch of Chartiers Creek, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Neal Dam, owned and operated by Vernon C. Neal, is classified as a 'Small' size - 'significant' hazard dam. The dam was found to be in good overall condition at the time of inspection. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations, performed in accordance with procedures established by the Baltimore District, Corps of Engineers, for Phase I Inspection Reports, revealed that the spillway will pass the 100-year flood without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 100-year flood to the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) is required for Neal Dam. The 100-year flood was chosen because the dam is on the low side of the 'Small' size category. The spillway is therefore considered 'adequate.' Several minor items of remedial work should be performed by the owner as soon as practicable.
