National Dam Safety Program. Lake Wadsworth Dam (NJ 00433), Delaware River Basin, Mantua Creek, Gloucester County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Wadsworth Dam, a high hazard potential structure, is judged to be in fair overall condition. The dam's spillway is considered inadequate since 12 percent of the Spillway Design Flood--SDF - would overtop the dam. (The SDF, in this instance, is one half of the Probable Maximum Flood). The decision to consider the spillway 'inadequate' instead of 'seriously inadequate' is based on the determination that dam failure resulting 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. Recommended actions are made to insure adequacy of the structure.
