The general condition of the Treated Water Pond is considered to be fair. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of embankment conditions and lack of information on the structural capacity of conduits through the embankment. 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 Treated Water Pond's Spillway Design Flood is the Probable Maximum Flood. Spillway capacity is 'adequate' because the non-overtopping flood discharge was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in excess of 100 percent of the PMF. The visual inspection indicates several minor deficiencies in addition to those requiring further investigation. The deficiencies can be corrected or improved through implementation of the following recommended evaluation, remedial, monitoring and/or maintenance efforts.

The Raw Water Pond was designed and constructed as an earthfill structure with clay core and cutoff along the centerline. The embankment is 1190 feet long, with a toe to crest height of 25.2 feet and a crest width of 25 feet. The Raw Water Pond outlet works is a 14 inch diameter steel pipe with an intake at the bottom of the Pond. The outlet works maintains the operating pool approximately 1.5 feet below the invert of the principal (and emergency) spillway. A gate valve and flow monitoring weir box are located downstream of the embankment. Outlet works flows are discharged to the Treated Water Pond below. Based on a review of available design information and visual observations of conditions as they existed on the date of the field inspection, the general condition of the Raw Water Pond is considered to be poor. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations that indicate a possible inadequate margin of safety against slope failure of the embankment. Spillway capacity is 'inadequate' because the non-overtopping flood discharge was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in 0.18 PMF.

PA 485 is a zoned earthfill embankment with a total length of 630 feet, including the emergency spillway on the left abutment. The height and crest width of the embankment are 78 feet and 14 feet, respectively. The embankment was constructed using three zones of fill material. 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 emergency spillway for the dam is located at the left abutment. It consists of a vegetated trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 50 feet and 2H:1V side slopes. Hydrologic/hydraulic evaluations revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) equal to the PMF is required for PA 485. The spillway is therefore considered to be 'adequate'. The visual inspection revealed several minor deficiencies which require remedial action by the owners of the dam.

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.

PA 483 is a 74-foot high, zoned-earthfill floodwater retarding dam designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS). The dam is owned and operated by the Washington County Commissioners. The dam consists of a 360 foot long embankment, a vegetated earth side channel emergency spillway, and an intake riser and outlet conduit (principal spillway). The dam and appurtenant structures were found to be in good overall condition at the time of the inspection. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. PA 483 is a 'High' hazard, 'Intermediate' size dam requiring evaluation for a spillway design flood (SDF) equal to the PMF. Therefore, the spillway is assessed as 'adequate.' The inspection revealed certain items of remedial work which should be performed immediately by the owner.

This report is prepared under guidance contained in the 'Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams, ' for Phase I Investigations. The purpose of a Phase I Investigation is to identify expeditiously those dams which may pose hazards to human life or property. The assessment of the general condition of the dam is based upon available data and visual inspections. Detailed investigation, and analyses involving topographic mapping, subsurface investigations, testing, and detailed computational evaluations are beyond the scope of a Phase I Investigation; however, the investigation is intended to identify any need for such studies.

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.
