National Dam Inspection Program. Lakeside Dam (NDS I.D. Number PA 00742, DER I.D. Number 54-60), Delaware River Basin, Pine Creek, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Lakeside Dam is privately owned, and the reservoir is used for recreational purposes. The dam and spillway structures are currently in poor condition. In accordance with criteria established by Federal (OCE) Guidelines, the recommended spillway design flood for this 'Small' size dam and 'Significant' hazard classification is the 100 Year Flood to one-half the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Based on the damage center located 2,000 feet downstream of the dam, the one-half PMF event has been selected as the spillway design flood. Hydrologic and hydraulic computations presented in Appendix D indicate that the spillway structure is capable of discharging less than 0.1 PMF without overtopping the embankment. As the structure will not discharge the spillway design flood without overtopping the embankment, it is considered to have an 'Inadequate' spillway. (Author)
