National Dam Inspection Program. Deer Lake Dam (NDI ID Number-PA-00698, DER ID Number-64-202), Delaware River Basin, Tributary to Lake Wallenpaupak, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
The purpose of a Phase I INvestigation is to identify expeditiously those dams which may pose hazards to human life or property. The assessment of the general condition of the dam is based upon available data and visual inspections. Detailed investigations, and analyses involving topographic mapping, subsurface investigations, testing, and detailed computational evaluations are beyond the scope of a Phase I Investigation; however, the investigation is intended to identify any need for such studies. Phase I inspections are not intended to provide detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. In accordance with the established Guidelines, the spillway design flood is based on the estimated 'Probable Maximum Flood' for the region (greatest reasonably possible storm runoff), or fractions thereof. The spillway design flood provides a measure of relative spillway capacity and serves as an aid in determining the need for more detailed hydrologic and hydraulic studies, considering the size of the dam, its general condition and the downstream damage potential.
