I.        PURPOSE AND SCOPE

A.        To safeguard the lives as well as to reduce property damage of the citizens        
      living within the dam's potential downstream flood or inundation area.
B.        To provide for effective dam surveillance, prompt notification to local
     emergency management agencies, citizen warning and evacuation
     response, when required.
C.       To identify emergency actions to be taken by the dam owner/operator,
     public officials, emergency personnel, and to outline response actions
     in the event of a potential or imminent failure of the dam.

II.        SITUATION

A.        The dam is a 17-foot high, 550-foot long earthen embankment recreation dam,
     maintaining a normal pool of 186 acre-feet of water with a maximum pool capacity of 343 acre-feet.

B.        The dam is located at the headwaters of Seeley Brook, southwest of Hawley.
     Directions to the dam being 1.0 mile west on SR0590 from the intersection
     of US Route 6 and SR 0590, 0.2 mile west on TR 395 and
     0.3 mile north on Acacia Drive..  Refer to Location Map at
Attachment C.

C.        The inundation area resulting from a sudden dam failure follows Seeley Brook
     into the waters of Lake Wallenpaupack. It flows through House Pond,
     crosses SR 0590 and then enters Lake Wallenpaupack.  
     Most of the area above House Pond is undeveloped woodland.  
     There is one residential structure adjacent to House Pond that is
     within the inundation area.  See Inundation Map at
Attachment A.

D        Within the inundation area is approximately 1 home.  
    Refer to the Inundation Map at
Attachment A.

III.        CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

A.        SURVEILLANCE - (DAM OWNER OR OPERATOR)

1.        Normal Conditions

a.        The Board of Hidden Lake Estates POA or our designated assigned representative
         will conduct an on-site visual inspection of the dam, the dam’s spillway(s),
         control systems, and the toe area below the dam at a minimum
         of once every three months.  Any abnormal or questionable conditions
         will be immediately brought to the attention of the owner’s
         engineer and the Division of Dam Safety of DEP.

2.        Unusual Event Conditions

a.        Possible failure of this dam is most likely to occur during severe thunderstorms,
          heavy rains with local flood warnings, tropical storms and hurricanes,
          or heavy rains with frozen ground and/or snow cover.

b.        The Board of Hidden Lake Estates POA,
          namely Robert Fredericks (president HLEPOA),
          Edward Moen (Treasurer HLEPOA),
          or our designated assigned representative will commence 24-hour continuous
          around-the-clock surveillance of conditions at the dam site when:

(1)        The water level in the impoundment area has reached the threshold level of 1 feet below the top of the dam, or

(2)        The National Weather Service issues a flash flood watch or warning and conditions warrant, or

(3)        Any condition(s) listed in paragraph 3.C.1 is observed during routine dam maintenance or an inspection, or

(4)        Following the occurrence of an earthquake in the general region of the dam.

B.        TERMINATION OF SURVEILLANCE

1.        The Board of Hidden Lake Estates POA,
  `  namely Robert Fredericks (president HLEPOA),
     Edward Moen (Treasurer HLEPOA),
     or our designated assigned representative may terminate
     24 -hour surveillance of dam site conditions when:

  a.      The National Weather Service ends a flash flood watch or warning, and

  b.      Heavy rains have ended and the water level in the lake has dropped
          1 foot below the top of the dam and is receding.

  c.      After personal inspection by a knowledgeable professional engineer of the dam site,
          following an earthquake, overtopping of the dam, or an evacuation of the inundation area
          as a result of this EAP, or other serious problems resulting in a notification of a dam site emergency.

C.      WARNING NOTIFICATION

1.        The Board of Hidden Lake Estates POA,
     namely Robert Fredericks (president HLEPOA),
     Edward Moen (Treasurer HLEPOA),
     or our designated assigned representative is responsible
     for determining the dam’s threat potential.  
     The following conditions constitute a dam emergency and require notification
     to the Wayne County Communications Center 911 and
     the Department of Environmental Protection’s Northeastern Regional Office.

  a.     The water level in the inpoundment area has reached
          the threshold level of 1 foot below the top the dam.

  b.     The depth of flow in the spillway has reached the depth of 2 feet.

  c.      Imminent failure of this dam might be indicated by observance
          of one or more of the following conditions at the dam site.

(1)   The lake or pond level is at or near the top of the dam and water
  is flowing, or about to flow, over the top of the dam.

(2)   The overflow pipe or spillway is damaged, or clogged with debris or ice,
  which is resulting in a rapid rise in the lake or pond level.

(3)   The spillway is experiencing heavy flows which are causing
  severe erosion to the spillway or the dam embankment.

(4)   Any structural movement or failure of the concrete (masonry)
  spillway or the spillway abutment walls.

(5)    Any sloughing or sliding of the embankment upstream or downstream slope.  
  Also, earth slides in the spillway channel, either upstream or
  downstream the dam's crest, which could impede the flow in the spillway.

(6)    Subsidence, sinkholes or cracks found in any part of the dam's embankment or abutting slopes.

(7)    Any new discharge of water is observed through the dam's embankment
  or abutting slopes, adjacent to any conduit outlets, or under the dam,
  which appears as a boil along the downstream toe.  
  Should such a discharge occur and the water is cloudy or muddy
  in color, then a very serious problem exists.

(8)   There are no other conditions, which the dam owner's engineer
  knows are a concern for the dam's safety.

2.     Warning notification will be relayed from the Wayne County Communications Center 911
  to all emergency responders and designated government officials and agencies.

3.     Emergency management officials will accomplish the needed actions,
  which are explained in this EAP, in accordance with their existing recommended
  operating guidelines and existing municipal or county emergency operation plans.

D.        EVACUATION

Evacuation or pre-evacuation warning of the public may commence upon notification by the Board of Hidden Lake Estates
POA or our designated assigned representative of a potential or imminent failure of the dam.

VII.        DEFINITIONS

A.        ABUTMENT - The part of the valley’s hillside against which the dam abuts.  
          Right and left abutments are those on respective sides of the dam as an observer looks downstream.

B.        
AFFECTED COUNTIES/MUNICIPALITIES – Those jurisdictions within Pennsylvania or adjoining state that, according
                to the inundation map, may experience flooding as a result of a failure of the dam.

C.       
 BOIL - A disturbance in the surface layer of soil caused by water escaping under pressure from behind
          a water-retaining structure such as a dam or a levee.  The boil may be accompanied by deposition of soil
particles                 (usually sand or silt) in the form of a ring (miniature volcano) around the area where the water escapes.

D.       
 BREACH - An opening or a breakthrough of a dam sometimes caused by rapid erosion of a section
          of earth embankment by water.

E.        
CONDUIT - A pipe used to convey water through or around or under a dam.

F.        
CONTROL TOWER - A structure in the dam or reservoir used to control withdraw of water from the reservoir
          thru pipes or culverts.

G.        
CREST OF DAM - The crown of an overflow section of the dam. In the United States, the term "crest of dam"
          is often used when "top of dam" is intended.  To avoid confusion, the terms crest of spillway and top of
          dam should be used for referring to the overflow section and dam proper, respectively.

H.        
CULVERT - (a) A drain or waterway structure built transversely under a road, railway, or embankment.
          A culvert usually comprises a pipe or a covered channel of box section. (b) A gallery or waterway
          constructed through any type of dam, which is normally dry but is used occasionally for discharging water;
          hence the terms scour culvert, draw off culvert and spillway culvert.

I.        
DAM - A barrier built across a watercourse for impounding or diverting the flow of water.

J.        
DAM FAILURE - The uncontrolled release of a dam’s impounded water.It is recognized that there
          are degrees of failure.  Any malfunction or abnormality, outside the design assumptions and parameters,
          which adversely affect a dam’s primary function of impounding water, is properly considered a failure.  
          Minor malfunctions or abnormalities can result in a sudden failure of a dam.

K.        
EARTH DAM (EARTHFILL DAM) - An embankment dam in which more than 50% of the total volume is formed
          of compacted fine-grained earth.

L.       
 EMBANKMENT - Fill material, usually earth or rock, placed with sloping sides.

M.        
EMERGENCY - A condition of serious nature which develops unexpectedly and endangers the structural integrity
          of a dam or endangers downstream property and human life.  An emergency requires immediate action.

N.        
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (EAP) - A formal plan of procedures designed to minimize consequences
          to life and property in the event of an emergency at a dam.

O.       
 FACE - With reference to a structure, the external surface that limits the structure, e.g., the face or a wall or dam.

P.        
FAILURE - An incident resulting in the uncontrolled release of water from an operating dam.  See “Dam Failure”.

Q.       
 FOUNDATION OF DAM - The natural material on which the dam structure is placed.

R.        
GROIN - That area along the contact (or intersection) of the face of a dam with the abutment.

S.        
HAZARD - A situation which creates the potential for adverse consequences such as loss of life, property
          damage, and adverse social and environmental impacts.  Impacts may be for a defined area downstream
          of a dam from floodwaters released through spillways and outlet works of the dam or waters released
          by partial or complete failure of the dam.  They may also be for an area upstream of the dam from effects
          of backwater flooding or effects of landslides around the reservoir perimeter.

T.        
INUNDATION AREA - The downstream area that would be flooded or other wise affected by the failure of a dam
          or large flows.  This area can be subject to a fast moving flood wave, 20 to 50 MPH is common,
          with a height of 1 foot to tens of feet

U.        
INUNDATION MAP - A map delineating the area that would probably be flooded in the event of a dam failure.  
          This map must be prepared by a registered professional engineer.

V.      
  NOTIFICATION - To promptly inform appropriate individuals or emergency agency about an emergency condition
          so they can initiate appropriate actions.

W.        
NORMAL WATER LEVEL (NORMAL WATER POOL) - For reservoir with a fixed overflow spillway crest, it is
           the lowest level of that crest.

X.         
OPERATOR - The person or position in a company or organization, who is responsible for a dam’s operation
           and surveillance.

Y.         
OUTLET - A constructed opening through which water can be safely discharged for a particular purpose
          from a reservoir.

Z.         
OWNER - Any person, authority or agency that manages a dam or reservoir.

AA.       
SEEPAGE - The movement of water that might occur through the dam, its foundation or its abutments.  
          Small amounts of clear water seepage is normal.  Increase in the amount of water flow or change in color
          is a concern for a dam’s safety.

BB.       
SLIDE - The movement of a mass of earth and/or down a slope.  In embankments and abutments, this involves
          the separation of a portion of the slope from the surrounding materials.

CC.       
SPECIAL NEEDS FACILITY – A building or establishment relating to people who have specific needs,
          such as children or those associated with a disability.

DD.       
SPILLWAY - A structure over or through which flows are discharged. If the flow is controlled by gates,
          it is considered a controlled spillway; if the elevation of the spillway crest is the only control,
          it is considered an uncontrolled spillway.

EE.        
SPILLWAY CHANNEL - A channel conveying water from the spillway crest to the river downstream.

FF.        
TOE OF DAM - The junction of the downstream face of a dam with the ground surface. Also referred to
           as downstream toe. For an embankment dam, the junction of the upstream face with ground surface
          is called the upstream toe.

GG.        
TOP OF DAM - The elevation of the uppermost surface of a dam, usually a road or walkway, excluding
           any parapet wall, railings, etc.

HH.        
TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT (TCP) – Manned posts established at critical road junctions for the purpose
          of controlling or limiting traffic. TCPs are used to control evacuation movement and also limit entry
          into the inundation area when an emergency situation requires it.

VIII.        EXERCISE AND TRAINING

The dam owner will advise and cooperate with the Wayne County EMA of any exercises scheduled, and coordinate with the
Wayne County EMA to exercise all or portions of this EAP as part of the county's all-hazard exercise program schedule.


IX.        PLAN MAINTENANCE AND DISTRIBUTION

A.        This Plan will be reviewed every five years by the owner or the owner’s engineer. During the five year review:

  1.        The owner's engineer will field review the flood (inundation) area for any increase in downstream
             development and revise the Inundation Map, if needed.

  2.        The owner's engineer will review and revise surveillance conditions as needed.

  3.        The owner will coordinate with Wayne County EMA if population increase or development
              within the inundation area could affect the emergency response requirements.
             If so, a new or revised plan should be developed.

  4.        The owner will obtain concurrence from the affected county EMA offices.

  5.        The owner will submit revised plan to DEP for approval.

B.        A copy of the approved EAP will be distributed to those emergency response agencies listed in Section 4 and a
     letter certifying distribution of the approved EAP will be sent to the DEP, Division of Dam Safety.
