Summary

Completed in 1980, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a length of 150 feet, providing a storage capacity of 185 acre-feet. Situated on TR CHAFFEE RUN, this dam serves as a recreational resource for the local community in Warren Township.

Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pa-113 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, this dam ensures the safety of its surroundings. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures, its overall risk assessment and management remain undisclosed.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the data on Pa-113 offers valuable insights into a vital infrastructure that contributes to the recreational and environmental well-being of the area. With its historical significance and functional capacity, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water demands.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
