National Dam Inspection Program. Humboldt Dam (NDI ID Number PA-00646 DER ID Number 40-61), Susquehanna River Basin, Wolffs Run, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Humboldt Dam is a homogeneous earthfill embankment with a masonry core-wall. The embankment is 974 feet long and 41 feet high at maximum section. A masonry gravity retaining wall, which acts as the spillway training wall, is at the right end of the embankment. The outlet works, which is near the middle of the embankment, consists of a masonry and corrugated metal intake structure with sluice gates, a 12-inch diameter cast-iron pipe(CIP), and a valve house at the toe of the dam. The intake structure is located on the upstream slope of the embankment; a bridge extends to it. Water supply pipes also extend from the intake structure. The masonry gravity spillway is at the right abutment of the dam. Its crest is 3.0 feet below the design elevation of the top of the dam and is 33.0 feet long. The spillway channel has a variable bottom width and a masonry gravity training wall on the left. The spillway channel extends along the right side of the valley.
