National Dam Inspection Program. Lake Ladore Dam (NDI Number PA-00091, DER Number 64-5), Delaware River Basin, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on the visual inspection, past performance and the available engineering data, the dam and its appurtenant structures appear to be in fair condition. In accordance with the Corps of Engineers' evaluation guidelines, the size classification of this dam is intermediate and the hazard classification is high. The spillway capacity is inadequate to pass the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood) peak inflow without overtopping the dam. The project is capable of passing 57 percent of the PMF and is considered to be inadequate, but not seriously inadequate. The following recommendations are presented for immediate action by the owner: (1) that a detailed study be made to determine the cause and origin of leakage and to evaluate the structural stability of the dam. This study to be made by a professional engineer experienced in the design and construction of dams, should also determine the phreatic line and the condition of the wetwell; (2) that the spillway entrance be cleared of all obstructions; (3) that the boards in the downstreams valve be removed; (4) that the concrete of the right buttress be repaired; (5) that all brush be removed from the embankment; (6) that a formal surveillance and downstream warning system be developed for implementation during periods of heavy or prolonged rainfall; and (7) that a program be developed for regular inspection and maintenance.
