Borg, also known as Borg Dam, is a private water resource structure located in Tioga, Pennsylvania. Constructed in 1984 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 460 feet in length, with a primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities such as fishing and wildlife viewing. Situated on Tr- Elk Creek, Borg has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres, making it a valuable asset for both water conservation and outdoor enjoyment.
Despite its moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Borg poses a high hazard potential due to its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates. While the condition assessment is currently unavailable, it is crucial for stakeholders to stay informed and prepared in case of emergencies. With no inspection frequency listed and no Emergency Action Plan in place, it is essential for responsible parties to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this vital water resource structure to mitigate potential risks and ensure its long-term functionality for the community.
As a part of the Buffalo District, Borg receives federal funding and design support from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. With a designated purpose of recreation, this dam serves as a valuable resource for both wildlife and the local community in Tioga. By staying informed and proactive in its maintenance and risk management, Borg can continue to provide essential benefits for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
