Completed in 1985 for flood risk reduction purposes, this dam stands at a height of 10 feet and spans 190 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 4 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
Despite being classified as having a significant hazard potential, Timber Creek Condo's dam is currently assessed to be in fair condition. The last inspection in April 2020 indicated a need for inspection every 2 years to monitor any changes in the dam's condition. While no emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps are reported to be prepared, the community is equipped with contacts for emergency situations. With Madeleine Dean (D) as the representative for the area, residents and authorities are committed to maintaining the dam's functionality and safety to protect against potential flood risks in the region.
