National Dam Inspection Program. Indian Lake Dam (NDI ID Number PA-01041, DER ID Number 40-143), Delaware River Basin, Shades Creek, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Phase 1 Inspection Report

Abstract

The purpose of this inspection is to determine if the dam constitutes a hazard to human life and property. The Dam's location is Bucks Township, Luzerne County. The overall appearance and general condition of the dam and appurtenances are fair. The spillway crest has been raised and the dam crest is two feet below design elevation. These and other noteworthy deficiencies noted. The reservoir pool was 3.5 feet below spillway crest (corewall) on the day of the initial inspection, 22 October 1980. The lake was purposely drawn down so that maintenance of the dam could be performed. On the date of the review inspection, the reservoir level was one foot above the spillway crest (corewall).
