Since then, changes in dam safety regulations have caused the PA DEP to label the dam as unsafe. This project seeks to design and implement spillway capacity augmentation measures that will allow the unsafe designation to be lifted Project is in Peters Township capital budget fy 2025 CIP 299 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Project Description The existing dam and spillway at Peters Lake was constructed in the early 1930's. Due to a change in dam safety regulations and a recent focus on "high-hazard" dams by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), it was determined that the capacity of the existing concrete spillway is inadequate and has labeled the dam as "unsafe". This project seeks to design and implement spillway capacity augmentation measures that will allow the "unsafe" designation to be lifted by the DEP. Justification Pennsylvania DEP recently adopted a new statewide Probable Maximum Precipitation Study, that requires high-hazard dams to be able to withstand a maximum precipitation of 22-inches for a 24-hour storm event. The current design of the spillway will not allow for Peters Lake to withstand this maximum precipitation. Failure to address this design flaw may eventually cause DEP to order a drawdown (partial or complete) of the lake. This project is included in the township’s 2024-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of December 3, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
