East Stroudsburg Dam is a 47.5 foot high earth and rock fill embankment with a concrete core wall. The dam is located across Sambo Creek and is about 740 feet long. The structure impounds a 57-acre lake with a 914 acre-foot normal storage capacity. Available records indicate that the core wall is founded in clay or hardpan. Upstream of the core wall, embankment materials consist of compacted soils. The upstream slope is protected with hand placed riprap. The slope is 2H1V above elevation 867 USGS Datum and below elevation 867 the slope increases to 2.5H1V. The compacted fill section downstream of the core wall has a 1H1V slope and the overlying hand placed rock section has a slope of 2H1V with a six foot berm at approximately elevation 873. The crest elevation is 893 with a measured width of 12 feet. The gatehouse is located about 320 feet from the right abutment. The best available section of this gatehouse is shown to Plate 5, Appendix E. The sluice gates are inside the gatehouse, one for the 24-inch intake pipe and one for the 24-inch discharge pipe. The intake is located at the upstream toe and the outlet discharges at the downstream toe into a rocklined channel.
