National Dam Inspection Program. Sunrise Lake Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-01091, PennDER I.D. Number 52-175), Delaware River Basin, Poison Brook, Pike County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, the dam is considered to be in good condition. The size classification of the facility is small and its hazard classification is considered to be significant. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the facility ranges between the 100-year frequency flood and the 1/2 PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). Since the facility is classified near the upper bounds of the small category, the SDF is considered to be the 1/2 PMF. Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate the facility is not capable of passing and/or storing the inflow resulting from a 1/2 PMF event without overtopping the emergency spillway dike. It must be noted, however, that the facility was found to be capable of accommodating the peak inflow from the 100-year frequency flood without overtopping. Nevertheless, the spillway system at Sunrise Lake Dam is considered to be inadequate.
