Based on available records, visual inspection, calculations, and past operational performance, Lake Jamie Dam is judged to be in fair condition. The recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the size and hazard classification of the dam varies between the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) and the PMF. Based on the criteria and the downstream conditions, the selected SDF at the dam is the PMF. Based on existing conditions, the spillways will pass about 46 percent of the PMF before overtopping of the dam occurs. However, it is judged that the dam could just withstand the depth and duration of overtopping that would occur for the 1/2 PMF. If the low areas on the top of the embankment were filled to the design elevation, the spillways would pass about 77 percent of the PMF. For either condition, the spillway capacity is rated as inadequate, but not seriously inadequate. The steep downstream slope and the seepage at the dam indicate that the embankment stability may be marginal for the normal operating condition. The main spillway weir is judged to be stable. The ability of the emergency drawdown facility to function is uncertain. The dam has significant deviations from the design data. Maintenance at the dam needs to be improved. (Author).

Based on criteria established for these studies, Lake-In-The-Clouds Dam is judged to be unsafe, nonemergency, because the spillway capacity is seriously inadequate. The recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the size and hazard classification of the dam varies between 1/2 the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) and the PMF. Based on the criteria and the downstream conditions, the selected SDF is the PMF. Based on existing conditions, with the embankment above its design elevation, the spillway will pass about 35 percent of the PMF before overtopping of the dam occurs. Failure of the dam would cause the probable overtopping and failure of a high hazard dam that is downstream. As a whole, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. No significant stability problems were observed at the embankment. The ability of the emergency drawdown facility to function is uncertain because it has not been operated recently. Maintenance at the dam is inadequate.

Skytop Dam is a 19 foot high zoned embankment with an 18 foot high concrete core wall. The dam impounds a 68-acre reservoir. The embankment downstream of the core wall is composed of a porous gravelly material. The downstream slope is 2H:1V. Immediately upstream of the core wall is a triangle-shaped impervious zone. The remaining portion of the upstream zone is composed of a 'dirty' gravel and protected with hand-placed riprap. The upstream slope is 2H:1V. The crest is 24 feet wide. The structure has a gatehouse located at the upstream toe. The gatehouse tower contains a wooden sluice gate with a screened entrance, and a 'Wilcox' gate valve inside the tower, which allows water to enter a 24-inch cast iron pipe. The 24-inch blow off pipe discharges at the downstream toe into the middle of the three lakes, Skytop Dam being the upper and largest of the three lakes on this property.

Analomink Lake Dam is an 11-foot high, 280-foot long rock fill and earth embankment, built approximately 70 years ago to provide an impoundment for recreational purposes. The dam has an average crest width of eight feet and a downstream slope which varies from 1H:1V to nearly vertical. The upstream face of the dam is almost completely submerged, but it is believed to have a much flatter slope than the downstream face. The Spillway is classified as Inadequate. Based upon the inspection of the dam and review of the information provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (DER), Analomink Lake Dam is considered to be in poor condition.

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, and according to criteria established for these studies, Mountain Springs Lake Dam is judged to be unsafe, non-emergency, because the spillway capacity is rated as seriously inadequate. The existing spillway will pass only about 10 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) before overtopping of the dam occurs. It is judged that the dam could not withstand the depth and duration of overtopping that would occur for the 1/2 PMF. Failure of the dam would cause an increased hazard for loss of life downstream. As a whole, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. No stability problems were evident for the dam or appurtenant structures. The ability of the outlet works to function is unknown. There are no known upstream closure facilities. Maintenance of the dam is not adequate. Both the dam and the dike are overgrown with trees.
