Easton Anglers dam
Easton Anglers
Easton Anglers is a privately owned dam located in Price Township, Pennsylvania, along the Wilkenson Run. Built in 1929, this concrete structure stands at a height of 10 feet and spans 115 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 174 acre-feet, the dam primarily serves recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 20 acres for fishing and other water-based activities.
Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Easton Anglers is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, the dam's condition is yet to be rated, with its last inspection conducted in August 2017. With a designated emergency action plan and regular inspection schedule, Easton Anglers aims to maintain its structural integrity and protect downstream communities from potential risks associated with dam failure.
Although Easton Anglers does not feature a spillway or outlet gates, its operational history and maintenance practices align with state guidelines for dam safety. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, the importance of properly managing and monitoring dams like Easton Anglers becomes increasingly vital. By staying proactive in risk assessment and emergency preparedness, Easton Anglers serves as a recreational hub while prioritizing safety and environmental stewardship in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Easton Anglers
Where does the data for Easton Anglers come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
