National Dam Inspection Program. Lake Greeley Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA- 00752, PennDER I.D. Number 52-20), Delaware River Basin, Taylortown Creek, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Abstract
Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, the dam is considered to be in fair condition. The size classification of the facility is small and its hazard classification is considered to be high. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the facility ranges between the 1/2 PMF (probable Maximum Flood) and the PMF. Since the facility is classified near the upper bounds of the small category with regard to available storage capacity, the SDF is considered to be the PMF. Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate that under existing conditions the facility will pass and/or store only about 17 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping at the low area adjacent the left abutment. If the low area were regraded to the design top of dam, the spillway system would then pass about 28 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping. Under existing conditions, spillway discharges are controlled by the existence of a township-owned roadway embankment and culvert that is situated about 100 feet downstream of the spillway weir.
