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.

Orson Pond Dam is classified as a 'Significant' hazard - 'Small' size dam. 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 will not pass the 100-year flood without overtopping the dam. 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 Orson Pond 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. During the 100-year flood, the dam is overtopped by a maximum depth of 1.79 feet for a total duration of 9.33 hours. The spillway is therefore considered 'inadequate.' It is recommended that the owner immediately develop recommendations for remedial measures to reduce the overtopping potential of the dam. Several items of remedial work should be immediately initiated by the owner.

Based on visual inspection, Acre Pond Dam is judged to be in fair structural condition. In the absence of an adequate spillway, the dam is subject to frequent overtopping. Based on the location of the downstream dwellings and the fact that a few lives could be lost should the dam fail, the dam is classified as a significant hazard dam. Since the spillway cannot pass the 100- year flood without overtopping the dam, the spillway is rated as inadequate. Although there is some seepage thru the dam, there is no evidence of structural instability. There is no formal inspection and maintenance program or warning system and evacuation plan in effect at Acre Pond Dam. The dam is not properly maintained.

Horton Lake Dam is located on Sterling Brook in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The impoundment created by the dam is used for recreation and fishing. A steel plate operated by a stem and hand whell from the top of the embankment acts as a gate valve for the emergency outlet works. There are no operation or maintenance records for this gate valve. It is recommended that a formal operation and preventive maintenance schedule be developed and implemented. There is no warning system in the event of dam failure. It is recommended that an emergency warning system be developed. The current operational features are adequate for the purpose they serve. However, it is recommended that a formal maintenance and operations manual be prepared for the dam.

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations, and past operational performance, and according to criteria established for these studies, No. 5 Dam is judged to be unsafe, nonemergency, because the spillway capacity is rated as seriously inadequate. The spillway can pass 29 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. Failure of the dam would cause an increase hazard to loss of life downstream. As a whole, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. The spillway gravity weir does not have any significant deviations from the guidelines for stability, since the toe pressure is well below the allowable. There is no evidence of instability on the embankment.

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Dunmore No. 1 Dam is judged to be in good condition. The spillway can pass 84 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. Two culverts, immediately downstream of the dam, may provide significant tailwater effects at the dam. If the top of the dam were raised 0.4 foot to its design elevation, the spillway can pass 90 percent of the PMF. The spillway capacity would still be rated as inadequate. Because there is no analysis available, the structural stability of the masonry gravity spillway is unknown. The spillway right training wall does not have any significant deviations from the guidelines for stability. There is no evidence of instability on the embankment.

The dam consists of a zoned, earthfill embankment that is 590 feet long and 52 feet high at its maximum section. The main spillway is a drop spillway located near the right abutment of the dam. It consists of a concrete riser connected to a 30-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe under the embankment. The auxiliary spillway is an excavated channel along the left abutment of the dam. It is a grass-linked excavation in earth. Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, PA-467 Dam is judged to be in good condition. The existing spillway can pass the Probable Maximum Flood(PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as adequate. There is a slope stability analysis for the embankment, and it indicates that the embankment has adequate factors of safety. There is no evidence of significant problems threatening the embankment.

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Henry Dam is judged to be in good condition. The existing spillway can pass 60 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. If the embankments were raised 0.7 foot to their design elevation, the dam could pass the PMF with 0.05 foot of freeboard. The spillway capacity would then be rated as adequate. A low area between the two embankments acts as an auxiliary spillway. There is no stability analysis for the embankments. There is no evidence of significant problems threatening the embankments. The spillway weir is judged to be stable.

Lake Walter Dam is located on Spring Run, approximately one mile upstream of its confluence with Meshoppen Creek in Springville Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The condition of Lake Walter Dam is considered to be good. The only significant condition noted which requires further attention is the lack of erosion protection in the emergency spillway discharge channel. The swampy condition at the toe of the dam is not considered to be significant at this time; however, the condition should be monitored to document if seepage is developing.
