National Dam Inspection Program. Lake Paupackan Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00140, DER I.D. Number 64-33). Delaware River Basin, Lakeville, Creek, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Based on available records, visual inspection, calculations, and past operational performance, Lake Paupackan Dam is judged to be in fair condition. Considering the size and hazard classification of the dam, the recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) varies between the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) and the PMF. The 1/2 PMF was, in this case, selected as the SDF. The spillway and reservoir, under existing conditions, will pass approximately 19 percent of the PMF before overtopping of the dam occurs. The spillway is, therefore, rated as inadequate.
