National Dam Inspection Program. Page's Lake Dam NDI Number PA 00062 PennDER Number 58-5) Susquehanna River Basin, Salt Lick Creek, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Page's Lake Dam is owned and operated by the Lakeside Outing Club and is classified as a 'Significant' hazard - 'Intermediate' size dam. The dam was found to be in good overall condition on 27 October 1980. 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 not pass the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 1/2 PMF to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) is required for Page's Lake Dam. The 1/2 PMF was chosen as the SDF because the dam is on the low end of the 'Intermediate' size category in terms of storage. During the 1/2 PMF, the dam is overtopped by a maximum depth of 3.34 feet for a total duration of 11.83 hours. The spillway is therefore considered 'Inadequate.' It is recommended that the owner immediately initiate an engineering study to further evaluate the spillway capacity and develop recommendations for remedial measures to reduce the overtopping potential of the dam.
