This book was released on 1978 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birdsboro Dam is an approximately 40-foot high rolled earth embankment constructed across Indian Run Creek. The 430-foot long dam impounds an 8-acre reservoir. Very limited data exists regarding physical features of the dam. However, it is known that local borrow material from within the reservoir area was used for the construction. The downstream slope is a 1.5H:IV slope, and the upstream slope is covered with hand-placed riprap on a slope of approximately 2.5H:IV. It is not known if there is a cutoff wall, nor is it known if a grout curtain was installed.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pole Run Dam No. 4 is a 30 foot high earthen embankment across Pole Run, a tributary of North Mahanoy Creek. The 780 foot long dam impounds a nine acre reservoir within an 0.58 square mile drainage basin. Very limited data exists regarding the physical features of the dam. The average measured downstream slope is 2H:1V, and the slope is covered with stone and vegetation. Since the average freeboard of the structure is less than one foot at normal pool level, the upstream slope could not be measured. A portion of the upstream slope is covered with stone, and this stone could be seen to extend at least two feet below the water and it is probable that it extends several feet below that elevation. The crest width ranges from 15 feet to 27 feet. The spillway is located at the right abutment, and consists of an open concrete channel with concrete retaining walls. The water supply intakes could not be inspected as they are below water and the pipes are buried in the embankment. The outlet pipes were inspected and three pipes were found. Near the toe of the dam, valves were located which are presumably used to control flow through the pipes.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fawn Lake Dam is owned by the Lake Wynonah Property Owners Association and is located in South Mannheim Township in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The dam was designed by the original owner, American Realty Service Corporation of Memphis, Tennessee. The embankment was completed on May 12, 1971, and has been in service ever since. The facility is judged to be in reasonably good operating condition. Calculations indicate that the spillway systems are capable of passing the probable maximum flood (PMF). Therefore, the spillway is considered to be 'Adequate'. Seepage was noted emanating from the downstream slope and along the toe of the dam, but there were no indications at this time that this condition is potentially hazardous. No indications of slope distortion, embankment slides or other condition indicative of a potentially unstable embankment were noted.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mud Run Dam was designed and constructed in 1879 by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company. It was described in a 1914 report as an earthfill structure 1,124 feet in length. Very little information could be obtained as to the original construction. It was reported that the ground surface was well plowed to form a good bond with the fill and that the material, which was a mixture of clay and disintegrated conglomerate, was laid in layers and rolled. The dam was practically rebuilt in 1903 by adding to the then existing structure. The centerline was moved 16 feet downstream and the dam crest was increased from 8 feet to 24 feet in width and raised five feet in elevation. The downstream slope was changed from 1-1/2H to 1V to 2H to 1V and both slopes were paved with riprap. The material used in the enlargement was clay and disintegrated conglomerate which was laid in layers from 6 inches to 8 inches and rolled. A concrete core wall five feet wide on top and ten feet wide at the bottom was carried through a previous layer of underlying sand and gravel.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bear Creek Dam is a hollow reinforced concrete structure of the 'Ambursen' type approximately 450 feet long and 64 feet high at its central portion. The dam is founded on a full concrete mat with an upstream concrete cutoff wall extending into natural rock. The dam was built in 1915. The dam is classified as an 'Intermediate' size dam by virtue of its 64-foot height. The dam is also considered a 'High' hazard structure because in the event of failure there is a possibility of loss of life and extreme property damage downstream.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this inspection is to determine if the dam constitutes a hazard to human life and property. The dam's location is Tremont Township, Schuylkill County U.S.G.S. Quadrangle - Pine Grove, Pa. The general appearance of the Black Creek Intake Dam is good, except that a heavy growth of trees covers the downstream slope of the embankment (Photograph No. 2). The slopes appear to be stable. A considerable amount of water was flowing through rocks just beyond the downstream toe near the spillway. This water appears to originate from the spillway channel. The overall visual evaluation of these facilities indicates that the dam is in good condition. The trees on the embankment should be removed. The observed steady seepage beyond the toe of the embankment adjacent to the spillway outlet channel has been a long standing condition (40 + or - years) and is not considered to be a serious problem at this time.

Jeffrey Kimball and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of Waste House Run No. 3 Dam is based upon visual observations made at the time of inspection, interviews with the owner and hydrologic and hydraulic analyses. Waste House Run No. 3 Dam is a high hazard-intermediate size dam. The dam is in fair condition. The spillway design flood is the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 55% of the PMF without overtopping the embankment. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed inadequate. Seepage is exiting at several locations at the toe of dam. One of these seepage areas is approximately 8 feet above the toe of dam on the upstream wall of the valve house. Significant movement of the downstream slope and walls of the valve house are in evidence and additional analyses are warranted.
