National Dam Safety Program. Poe Dam (NDI I.D. Number PA-00471, Penn Der I.D. Number 14-105), Susquehanna River Basin, Big Poe Creek, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report,

Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam is considered to be in good condition. The size classification is considered to be high. In accordance with recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood SDF for this facility ranges between the 12 PMF Probable Maximum Flood and the PMF. Due to the high potential for damage to downstream structures and possibly loss of life, the SDF is considered to be the PMF. Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis is indicate the facility will pass andor store approximately 75 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping. As a result, the spillway is deemed inadequate, but not seriously inadequate.
