Summary

Standing at a height of 15 feet, this rockfill dam holds a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres. The dam is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and has a low hazard potential with a fair condition assessment.

Situated in West Rockhill Township, Creek is part of the Ridge Valley Creek system and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Pennsylvania. The dam has been deemed safe with regular state inspections and enforcement measures in place. While the dam has not undergone any modifications or updates in recent years, it remains a key recreational site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.

With a history dating back to an unspecified completion year, Creek offers a tranquil setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. Despite its modest size and limited hazard potential, the dam provides a valuable source of water for the surrounding area while also serving as a vital habitat for local flora and fauna. For those interested in water resource management and climate resilience, Creek stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water infrastructure.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
