Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Owned High-hazard, Unsafe Dams Managed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission High-Hazard, Unsafe Dam Revitalization Program Update As of June 3, 2013 The Fish & Boat Commission manages 20 Commonwealth-owned dams that were, or currently are, considered as high-hazard, unsafe. High-hazard, unsafe dams have deficiencies of such a nature that if not corrected and the dams were to fail, substantial property damage and a probable loss of human life could occur. Criteria used to identify the highest priority dam repairs include the number of people impacted by any potential failure, cost of repairs, immediacy of needed repairs, contributions and funding commitments by local partners, economic impact of the dam structure, recreational fishing and boating opportunities, and other variables or identified benefits. Two projects have been removed from high hazard, unsafe status; six projects are 100% funded and construction activities are complete; and three projects are 100% funded with design or repair work expected to begin in 2013. Estimated construction funding of $44.3 million is needed to address nine high-hazard, unsafe dams, and $15 million more is needed for phase 2 of the Hereford Manor Lakes dam replacement project, for a total need of $59.3 million.
