Bonnice, a privately-owned dam located in Jessup Township, Pennsylvania, stands as both a recreational asset and a significant water resource in the region. Completed in 1969, this earth dam with a height of 18 feet and a length of 550 feet, impounds the TR East Branch Wyalusing Creek, providing a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 12 acres. Despite its purpose primarily for recreation, its strategic location and state-regulated status underline its importance in water management and conservation efforts.
Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bonnice is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in August 2020. With a hazard potential classified as significant, the dam's condition remains unrated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality. While the dam's Emergency Action Plan status and risk assessment details are currently unspecified, the structure's critical role in water management underscores the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness measures.
As part of the larger water infrastructure in the Susquehanna region and under the jurisdiction of both state and federal agencies, Bonnice serves as a vital component in water resource management and climate resilience strategies. Its presence along the TR East Branch Wyalusing Creek not only offers recreational opportunities but also underscores the interconnectedness of water resources, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of climate change and water-related hazards.
