National Dam Inspection Program. Steinhauer Dam (NDI Number PA 00947, PennDER Number 8-64), Susquehanna River Basin, Unnamed Tributary of Roaring Run, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Abstract
The dam was found to be in fair overall condition at the time of inspection. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations, performed in accordance with procedures established by the Baltimore District, Corps of Engineers, for Phase I Inspection Reports, revealed that the spillway capacity is less than the peak inflow to the impoundment during the 100-year flood. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 100-year flood to the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) is required for Steinhauer Dam. Because the dam is on the low end of the 'Small' size category in terms of storage capacity and height, the 100-year flood was chosen as the SDF. The spillway will not pass the SDF without overtopping the dam. The spillway is therefore considered inadequate.
