National Dam Inspection Program. Star Junction Number 1 Dam (NDI Number PA-00198, PennDER Number 26-30) Ohio River Basin, Washington Run, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

Star Junction No. 1 dam consists of an earthfill embankment and masonry spillway on the right abutment. The dam has a crest length of 545 feet, a maximum height of 35 feet and a storage volume of 149.3 acre-feet at the spillway crest level. The dam is classified by Corps of Engineers guidelines to be a small size, high hazard structure. Based on the visual observations and the data available, the dam is categorized as being in an unsafe, non-emergency condition. The visual inspection revealed that the masonry spillway on the right abutment has deteriorated to the extent that its structural integrity during extended, large discharge conditions, is questionable.
