National Dam Safety Program. Parker Street Dam. (NJ00055), Atlantic Coastal Basin. North Branch of Forked River, Ocean County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report
Parker Street Dam is an earthfill dam with a paved roadway along the crest. The original embankment has been filled in on the downstream side to form a parking area for those swimming at the lake. There is a timber box spillway located approximately in the center of the dam. The overall condition of the dam is good. There are no signs of distress or instability in the dam. The hazard potential is rated as 'high'. Parker Street Dam is considered inadequate in view of its lack of spillway capacity to pass the SDF (1/2 PMF) without overtopping the dam. The spillway is capable of passing a flood equal to 8 percent of the PMF (16 percent of the 1/2 PMF), and is assessed as 'inadequate'. At present, the engineering data available is not sufficient to make a definitive statement on the stability of the dam, but based on the findings of the visual inspection, the preliminary assessment of static stability is that it is satisfactory. Actions are recommended along with a timetable for their completion.
