National Dam Inspection Program. Macham Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00043 Pennder I.D. Number 8-56) Susquehanna River Basin. Wolcott Creek, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Macham Dam is an earth embankment approximately 19 feet high and 575 feet long, including spillway. The facility is provided with an uncontrolled, rectangular, concrete chute channel spillway located at the left abutment. The spillway is constructed with a 75-foot long, broad crested weir having a 35-foot breadth. Drawdown capability is provided by means of an 18-inch diameter reinforced concrete conduit controlled at the inlet by an 18-inch diameter sluice gate. Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam is considered to be in fair condition. The facility will pass and/or store only about 43 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping. (Author)
