National Dam Inspection Program. Shenandoah Creek Dam (NDS ID Number PA-687, DER ID Number 54-139). Susquehanna River Basin, Unnamed Tributary to Shenandoah Creek, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

The assessment of Shenandoah Creek Dam is based upon visual observations made at the time of inspection, interviews with the owner and hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. Shenandoah Creek Dam is a high hazard-small size dam. The recommended design flood for this dam is the 1/2 PMF to PMF. Based on the hazard and size classification of this dam and the downstream potential for loss of life the SDF for this dam is the PMF. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling the PMF. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed adequate. The spillway and the outlet works gate tower are in a severely deteriorated condition and should be repaired.
