National Dam Safety Program. Laurel Springs Dam (NJ00400), Delaware River Basin, North Branch to Timber Creek, Camden County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Laurel Springs Dam, initially listed as a high hazard potential structure but reduced to a low hazard potential structure as a result of this inspection, is judged to be in good overall condition and the spillway is considered adequate. The low hazard potential classification means that in the event of failure of the dam, no loss of life and only minimal economic loss is expected. However, to ensure the continued functioning of the dam and its impoundment, remedial actions are recommended.
