National Dam Inspection Program. Pocono Woodland Lake Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00443, PennDER I.D. Number 52-179), Delaware River Basin, Branch of Raymondskill Creek, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

Based on the visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam and its appurtenances are considered to be in excellent condition. The size classification of the facility is small and the hazard classification is high. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) ranges between the 1/2 PMF (Probable Maximum Flood) and the PMF. Since the facility is classified near the lower bounds of the small category, the SDF is considered to be the 1/2 PMF. Results of hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate that the facility is capable of accommodating about 76 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping. As a result, the spillway is deemed adequate.
