Based on a review of available information, visual observations of conditions as they existed on the date of the field inspection, and supporting engineering calculations, the general condition of the Montour No. 4 Refuse Bank is considered to be fair. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of the embankment. The structure is classified as a large size, significant hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for a large size significant hazard dam. Montour No. 4 Refuse Bank's Spillway Design Flood is the Probable Maximum Flood. Reservoir capacity is 'adequate' because the non-overtopping flood inflow was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in excess of 100 percent of the PMF.

PA 480 was designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) for floodwater detention. The total length of the dam is 555 feet, including the emergency spillway on the right abutement; the maximum height of the dam is 66 feet. The principal spillway is a drop-inlet structure consisting of a two-stage reinforced concrete riser connected to a 30 inch diameter reinforced concrete outlet pipe. The low-level inlet on the concrete riser is a 9 inch high by 15 inch wide orifice; this inlet maintains the normal pool level. There is 25.1 acre-feet of storage at normal pool level, all of which is reserved for a 50-year accumulation of sediment. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations, revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) to the PMF is required for PA 480. The 1/2 PMF was selected as the SDF. The spillway is therefore considered to be 'adequate'.

Neal Dam, owned and operated by Vernon C. Neal, is classified as a 'Small' size - 'significant' hazard dam. The dam was found to be in good 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 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 Neal Dam. The 100-year flood was chosen because the dam is on the low side of the 'Small' size category. The spillway is therefore considered 'adequate.' Several minor items of remedial work should be performed by the owner as soon as practicable.

Mine No. 51 - Pond 3 is located at the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to Pigeon Creek in Somerset Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. The pond is approximately 1/2 mile north of Ellsworth, Pennsylvania. Mine No. 51 - Pond 3 was constructed to serve as a holding and settling impoundment for fine coal refuse slurry from the Mine No. 51 Coal Preparation Plant. Based on the observed downstream conditions, Mine No. 51 - Pond 3 was assigned a high hazard potential rating.

The general condition of the Refuse Settling Basin is considered to be fair. This assessment is based on visual observations that indicate a possible inadequate margin of safety against slope failure of a high ground water level exists in Embankment A. The condition is not considered to represent an immediate threat to the structure because of the relatively low impoundment pool elevation. It should, however, be evaluated. If a high ground water does not exist in Embankment A, the facility can be considered to be in good condition. The structure is classified as an 'intermediate' size, 'high' hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for an 'intermediate' size, 'high' hazard dam. The visual inspection indicated several minor deficiencies in addition to the possible high ground water condition. The deficiencies can be corrected or improved through implementation of the following recommended evaluation, remedial, monitoring and/or maintenance efforts.

Trax Farm Dam is located across an unnamed tributary to Peters Creek in Peters Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, approximately 2.5 miles northwest of Finleyville, Pennsulvania. Trax Farm Dam was constructed to provide a water supply for irrigation. Based upon the observed height of the dam and downstream floodplain conditions, Trax Farm Dam was assigned a 'high' hazard potential rating.

The PA-484 Dam is one of the 14 flood control projects in the Harmon Creek watershed. The dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 320 feet long, with a maximum height of 67 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 14 feet. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of a drop inlet primary spillway located at the center of the embankment and an emergency spillway on the left abutment (looking downstream). The primary spillway structures consist of a two-stage reinforced concrete riser, a 24-inch-diameter reinforced concrete conduit and a reinforced concrete impact basin at the downstream end of the outlet conduit. The emergency spillway is a 50-foot-wide trapezoidal earth channel excavated into the left abutment. The reservoir outlet for the dam consists of a 12-inch steel pipe extending from the upstream toe of the dam to the drop inlet structure. Flow through the reservoir outlet is controlled by a manually operated sluice gate located in the drop inlet structure. The dam is located on an unnamed tributary of Harmon Creek approximately one mile west of Hanlon Station in Hanover Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

The purpose of the investigation is to make a determination on whether or not the dam constitutes a hazard to human life or property. Mine No. 60-Pond 5 is located at the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to the Center Branch of Pigeon Creek, in Somerset Township, Washington, County, Pennsylvania. The Mine No. 60-Pond 5 is classified as a 'high' hazard dam. The No. Mine 60-Pond 5 is owned by the Bethlehem Mines Corporation Eight-Four, Pennsylvania. The field inspection of Mine No. 60-Pond 5 was performed on 18 March 1981 and 26 March 1981 and consisted of: Visual observations of the embankment crest and slopes, groins and abutments; Visual observations of the principal (and emergency) spillway including approach channel, overflow crest, and discharge channel; Visual observations of the embankment's downstream toe area including drainage channels and surficial conditions; Visual observations of downstream conditions and evaluation of the downstream hazard potential; Visual observations of the reservoir shoreline and watershed; Visual observations of the outlet works; Transit stadia surveys of relative elevations along the embankment crest centerline, spillway, and across the embankment slopes. The visual observations were made during periods when the reservoir was at normal operating level.
