National Dam Safety Program. Lake Telemark Dam (NJ00336), Passaic River Basin, Hibernia Brook, Morris County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Telemark Dam, a high hazard potential structure, is judged to be in poor overall condition. The dam's spillway is considered inadequate because a flow equivalent to eight percent of the Spillway Design Flood--SDF - would cause the dam to be overtopped. (The SDF, in this instance, is one half of the Probable Maximum Flood.) The decision to consider the spillway 'inadequate' instead of 'seriously inadequate' is based on the determination that dam failure resulting from overtopping would not significantly increase the hazard to loss of life downstream from the dam from that which would exist just before overtopping failure.
