Pa-103 is a state-owned dam located in Terry Township, Bradford, Pennsylvania, along the Sugar Run river. Built in 1974 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam spans 700 feet in length and stands at a height of 20 feet, with a storage capacity of 515 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Pa-103 is for recreation, offering a surface area of 74 acres and a normal storage capacity of 301 acre-feet.
Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pa-103 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, the condition assessment of Pa-103 is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in June 2015. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, and there are no inundation maps or risk assessment reports available.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pa-103 provides an interesting case study of a state-owned recreational dam in Pennsylvania. With its unique design features and regulatory oversight, Pa-103 offers insights into the management of water resources and infrastructure in the region. Further research and monitoring of Pa-103 could help enhance understanding of dam safety and emergency preparedness in the face of changing climate conditions.
