Brooks is a private dam located in Springville Township, Pennsylvania, along UNT Meshoppen Creek. It is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and is used primarily for recreation. The dam is of Earth type with a height of 14 feet and a length of 90 feet, providing a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Brooks is regularly inspected every five years to ensure its fair condition and safety. The last inspection took place in June 2016. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and there are no emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for potential risks. However, the dam continues to serve its purpose of providing recreational opportunities in the area.
While Brooks may not pose a significant risk, its importance as a water resource in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, cannot be overlooked. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate change may find Brooks to be a valuable case study in dam regulation, inspection, and maintenance practices to ensure the safety and sustainability of water infrastructure for recreational and environmental purposes.
