National Dam Inspection Program. Brown's Lake Dam (NDI ID Number PA-00630, DER ID Number 45-108). Delaware River Basin, Stony Run, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on avaliable records, visual inspection, calculations, and past operational performance, Brown's Lake Dam is judged to be in poor condition. Based on the size and hazard classification of the dam, the recommended Spillway Design Flood is the Probalble Maximum Flood (PMF). The spillway can pass about 82 percent of the PMF. Since the dam cannot pass the PMF but can pass the 1/2 PMF, the spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. Deficiencies exist that are considered to be pertinent to the stability of the dam. The deficiencies include the following: seepage, steep slopes, a depression on the top of the dam, growth of trees on the dam, and holes and a depression on the downstream slope of the dam. The type of design and methods of construction increase the concern for the deficiencies. The condition of the outlet works is unsatisfatory. There are no upstream closure facilities. Maintenance of the dam is inadequate. (Author)
