National Dam Inspection Program. Bel-Air Lake Dam (NDI I.D. PA-0066, DER I.D. 058-116), Susquehanna River Basin, Tributary of Snake Creek, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Abstract
The condition of Bel-Air Lake Dam is considered to be unsafe/ nonemergency due to a seriously inadequate spillway capacity. The overall condition of the dam is considered to be fair. Although at this time no signs of significant distress were observed, it appears that the center of the dam has significantly settled. The design drawings show the design freeboard to be five feet, but the available freeboard is only approximately two feet. It also appears that fill has been placed on the downstream slope, increasing the crest width from the design value of 10 feet to about 30 feet near the center line of the dam and greater than 50 feet near the left abutment. The dam has no functional low level outlet facility.
