National Dam Inspection Program. Dam F (NDI ID Number PA-00642 DER ID Number 40-13), Delaware River Basin, Dreck Creek, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations, past operational performance, and according to criteria established for these studies, Dam F is judged to be unsafe, nonemergency, because the spillway capacity is rated as seriously inadequate. The spillway can pass 29 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The Owner has placed sandbags along the spillway crest, which reduces the spillway capacity further. The resulting outflows from the failure of Dam F would overtop and cause the failure of Dam G. This would result in the loss of life. As a whole, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. There are bulges on the downstream slope that apparently have not stabilized. The dam has essentially no operational emergency drawdown capability. Maintenance at the dam is marginal.
