General Edgar Jadwin Dam, also known as Jadwin Dam, is a rockfill dam located in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, along Dyberry Creek. Completed in 1960 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam stands at a structural height of 110 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 47,300 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, with a spillway width of 164 feet to manage uncontrolled flow during extreme flood events.

Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential due to the possibility of a breach during intense rainfall events, USACE has implemented risk management measures to address the problem soil layer within the dam. A recent Dam Safety Modification Study has led to the design of permanent repairs aimed at reducing the risk associated with the dam. Regular inspections, monitoring, and emergency preparedness measures are in place to ensure the safety of downstream communities, such as Honesdale and Hawley, in the event of a potential flood event.

With a history of reaching problem soil layers during reservoir elevation, the effectiveness of repairs made in 1970 remains uncertain. However, USACE's commitment to ongoing monitoring, data analysis, and emergency exercises with local authorities demonstrates their dedication to mitigating risks associated with General Edgar Jadwin Dam and ensuring the safety of surrounding areas.
