National Dam Safety Program. Pohatcong Lake Dam (NJ00504), Atlantic Coast Basin, Giffords Mill Branch of Tuckerton Creek, Ocean County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Pohatcong Lake Dam, a high hazard potential structure, is judged to be in fair overall condition. The dam's spillways are considered inadequate because a flow equivalent to two percent of one half the Probable Maximum Flood would cause the dam to be overtopped. The decision to consider the spillways inadequate instead of seriously inadequate is based on the determination that dam failure from overtopping would not significantly increase the hazard to loss of life downstream from the dam from that which would exist just before overtopping failure. Actions are recommended to ensure adequacy of the structure.
