Pa-445, located in Dreher Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, is a crucial structure designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along Green Creek. Completed in 1961, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 31 feet with a length of 550 feet, providing storage of 408 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 0.9 square miles. Despite its importance in mitigating flood hazards, Pa-445 has been assessed as having a poor condition and a high hazard potential.

Owned by the local government and regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pa-445 is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam's primary purpose remains flood risk reduction, highlighting its critical role in protecting the surrounding communities from potential disasters. With its location in a highly populated area and its poor condition assessment, there is an urgent need for maintenance and risk management measures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Pa-445 in the face of increasing climate variability and water resource challenges.
