National Dam Inspection Program. Hathaway Pond Dam (NDI ID Number PA 00050, PennDER Number 58-06), Susquehanna River Basin, West Branch of Lackawanna River, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Abstract
Hathaway Pond Dam is located in Ararat Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The reservoir was originally created to provide water for power purposes. The reservoir slopes are moderate with a good cover of vegetation. There are three ponds upstream from Hathaway Pond Dam on two tributary streams. The western stream contains Romobe Lake (PennDER I.D. No. 58-10) which is 1750 feet upstream from Hathaway Pond Dam. The eastern tributary contains Ball Lake and an unnamed smaller pond in series. Ball Lake is 2450 feet upstream and will retain considerable storage while the smaller unnamed pond was considered to have no effect on Hathaway Pond Dam. Two homes, a trailer, and township road are located 1800 feet downstream from Hathaway Pond Dam. These could suffer economic damage in the event of a dam failure.
