Camp Delmont Dam is a concrete capped rockfilled timber | |
crib structure with steel and timber sheetpile abutments | |
about 190 feet long, with a maximum height of 19 feet. | |
The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 236 acre feet | |
and a maximum height of 19 feet which places it in the | |
'Small' size category. Because of the chance for | |
appreciable damage to several cottages located downstream | |
of the site and little chance for loss of life due to | |
failure of the dam, the dam is judged to be a | |
'Significant' hazard structure. Due to the inhabitable | |
dwellings located downstream of the dam, fifty percent of | |
the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) was selected as the | |
appropriate Spillway Design Flood (SDF). An examination | |
of the results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses | |
indicates that the spillway and adjacent roadway are | |
capable of passing 36% of the PMF without overtopping the | |
dam abutments. The selected SDF for the dam is fifty | |
percent of the PMF. Since the spillway is not capable of | |
passing the SDF, the spillway is classified as | |
'Inadequate'. Further examination of the hydrologic and | |
hydraulic analyses indicates that the spillway and | |
adjacent roadway are capable of passing the 100 year | |
event without overtopping the dam abutments. Based on | |
visual observations and a review of the information | |
obtained from Pennsylvania Department of Environmental | |
Resources, Camp Delmont Dam appears to be in good | |
condition. | |
