Summary

The dam, primarily used for recreation, is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 18 feet and a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection regulates and inspects the dam, ensuring compliance with state standards and safety measures.

Despite being categorized as having a significant hazard potential, Rastoka is currently in fair condition as of its last inspection in September 2018. The dam has a designated inspection frequency of every two years, indicating ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts. While the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk assessment details are currently unspecified, the presence of state oversight and enforcement mechanisms suggests a commitment to ensuring the dam's safety and functionality.

Located in Whiteley Township and falling under the jurisdiction of the Huntington District, Rastoka serves as a valuable recreational resource for the local community. With its unique design and purpose, the dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and public enjoyment in Pennsylvania's scenic landscapes.

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.
