National Dam Inspection Program. Monroe Lake Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00633, PennDER I.D. Number 45-117), Delaware River Basin, Bear Swamp Run, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Monroe Lake Dam is located on Bear Swamp Run, a tributary to Marshall Creek, in Middle Smithfield Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The facility is less than five miles north of the community of Marshalls Creek, Pennsylvania and approximately eight miles north of the city of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Observations made during the visual inspection indicate the embankment is in fair condition. The structure is characterized as very irregular and poorly aligned both horizontally and vertically. The downstream embankment toe is partially inundated by water that may be attributable to seepage through the embankment and/or leakage through or around the conduit. The water is trapped in a trough area between the embankments of the dam and the downstream roadway. The condition may be exaggerated because the drainage culvert under the road appears to be partially obstructed. Minor erosion was observed along both the upstream and downstream dam faces. Although particularly evident along the upstream slope adjacent the outlet riser and along the steepest portions of the downstream slope, the erosion is not considered to be significant at this time. Field measurements indicate low areas along the embankment crest between one-half and two feet below the elevation of the left spillway wingwall. The crest is covered with gravel and the slopes with weedlike vegetation.
