Lake Sophia Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 340 feet long with a maximum height of 29 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 9 feet. The upstream side of the dam is protected by a small amount of riprap and the downstream face is covered with grass. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of a concrete open-channel spillway located near the left abutment. The outlet facilities consist of a 12-inch-diamenter corrugated metal pipe extending through the embankment along the original streambed. Based on the evaluation of existing conditions, the condition of Lake Sophia Dam is considered to be unsafe/nonemergency due to seriously inadequate spillway capacity. The flood discharge capacity was evaluated according to to the recommended procedure and was found to pass approximately 15 percent of the PMF without overtopping the dam. Results of the breach analysis indicate that downstream damage would be significantly increased due to a dam failure.

The visual inspection and review of available design and construction data indicate that Longford Lake Dam is in good condition. In accordance with the guidance provided, the spillway design flood (SDF) ranges between 1/2 the PMF and the full PMF. Based on the size and extent of downstream hazard for the dam, the SDF selected for this facility was the PMF. The hydrologic and hydraulic computations indicate that the combination of reservoir storage and spillway discharge capacity will pass 88% of the PMF prior to overtopping the embankment. Therefore, in accordance with the recommended criteria for Phase I inspections, the spillway for Longford Lake Dam is considered to be inadequate.

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.

The condition of Bel-Air Lake Dam is considered to be unsafe/ nonemergency due to a seriously inadequate spillway capacity. The overall condition of the dam is considered to be fair. Although at this time no signs of significant distress were observed, it appears that the center of the dam has significantly settled. The design drawings show the design freeboard to be five feet, but the available freeboard is only approximately two feet. It also appears that fill has been placed on the downstream slope, increasing the crest width from the design value of 10 feet to about 30 feet near the center line of the dam and greater than 50 feet near the left abutment. The dam has no functional low level outlet facility.

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 the evaluation of the existing conditions, the condition of Tuscarora Lake Dam is considered to be fair. Although some deficiencies were observed such as seepage from the toe and lack of upstream erosion protection, none were considered to be significant relative to the overall stability of the dam at this time. Periodic inspection and evaluation of the seepage conditions are recommended. It was found that the dam has no now level outlet facilities. The flood discharge capacity of the dam was evaluated according to the recommended criteria and the spillway was found to pass 10 percent of the PMF without overtopping the low spot of the embankment. This capacity is less than the recommended spillway capacity of 50 percent of the PMF which was based on the size and downstream hazard classification of the dam. Therefore, the spillway capacity is classified to be inadequate.
