National Dam Inspection Program. Wild Acres Lake Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00407, PennDER I.D. Number 52-65), Delaware River Basin, Branch of Hornbecks Creek, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Wild Acres Lake Dam is located on a branch of Hornbecks Creek in Delaware Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania. The facility is an integral part of the surrounding development known as Wild Acres. The community is nestled in the mountains of Pike County less than five miles west of U. S. Route 209 which parallels the Delaware River in this area. Observations made during the visual inspection indicate the embankment and adjacent dike are in good condition. Heavy brush growth and small trees were observed along the embankment crest and upstream face. No evidence of seepage through the downstream embankment face, excess settlement, sloughing, erosion or animal burrows was encountered by the inspection team. Some rock slope protection has been displaced immediately adjacent the spillway right wingwall, leaving small bare areas on both the upstream and downstream embankment faces. The top of the concrete corewall exhibits excessive cracking and spalling along its entire length except for that portion associated with the dike along the right abutment which is in relatively good condition.
