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 states 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 through 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, drawoff 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. EAP – Emergency Action Plan - A formal document that identifies potential emergency conditions at a dam and specifies
preplanned actions to be followed to minimize property damage and loss of life. It contains procedures and information to assist
the dam owner in issuing early warning and notification messages to responsible downstream emergency management authorities
of the emergency situation. It also contains inundation maps to show the emergency management authorities of the critical areas
for action in case of an emergency.
O. EOP – Emergency Operations Plan - “The document … which describes the hazards, vulnerabilities, emergency
management situations and assumptions that affect the municipality, the concept of operations during an emergency, and the
various roles and assignments of the elected officials, emergency management coordinator and other emergency response
personnel, whether paid or volunteer.” ( From PEMA Directive D2007-1). The EOP includes checklists for known critical facilities,
special facilities, critical personnel, hearing impaired residents, non-English speaking residents, residents requiring ambulance
assistance, etc., as identified by local emergency management officials.
P. FACE - With reference to a structure, the external surface that limits the structure, e.g., the face of a wall or dam.
Q. FAILURE - An incident resulting in the uncontrolled release of water from an operating dam. See “Dam Failure”.
R. FOUNDATION OF DAM - The natural material on which the dam structure is placed.
S. GROIN - That area along the contact (or intersection) of the face of a dam with the abutment.
T. 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 flood-waters released
through spillways and outlet works of the dam or waters released by partial or complete failure of the dam. This could include an
area upstream of the dam from effects of backwater flooding or effects of landslides around the reservoir perimeter.
U. INUNDATION AREA - The downstream area that would be flooded or otherwise 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.
V. 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.
W. NOTIFICATION - To promptly inform appropriate individuals or emergency agency about an emergency condition so they
can initiate appropriate actions.
X. NORMAL WATER LEVEL (NORMAL WATER POOL) - For reservoir with a fixed overflow spillway crest, it is the lowest level
of that crest.
Y. OPERATOR - The person or position in a company or organization, who is responsible for a dam’s operation and
surveillance.
Z. OUTLET - A constructed opening through which water can be safely discharged for a particular purpose from a reservoir.
AA. OWNER - Any person, authority or agency that manages a dam or reservoir.
BB. PSAP - Public Safety Answering Point - an agency in the United States, typically county or city controlled, responsible for
answering 9-1-1 calls for emergency assistance from police, fire, and ambulance services.
CC. 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.
DD. SLIDE - The movement of a mass of earth down a slope. In embankments and abutments, this involves the separation of
a portion of the slope from the surrounding materials.
EE. 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.
FF. SPILLWAY CHANNEL - A channel conveying water from the spillway crest to the river downstream.
GG. 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.
HH. TOP OF DAM - The elevation of the uppermost surface of a dam, usually a road or walkway, excluding any parapet wall,
railings, etc.
II. TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT (TCP) – Manned or unmanned 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.
JJ. VOAD - Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters - collaboration of diverse organizations and citizens trained to meet
community needs in the wake of a large-scale disaster.
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 EAP will be reviewed every five years by the owner or the owner’s engineer. During the five year review:
1. The owner or the owner's engineer will conduct an on-site review of 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 must be developed.
4. The owner will meet with and obtain concurrence from the affected county PSAP/911 Center(s) and EMC(s).
5. The owner will submit 6 copies at a minimum of the revised plan to DEP for review and approval.
B. A copy of the approved EAP will be distributed by the dam owner to those emergency response agencies listed in Section
IV. DEP, Division of Dam Safety will distribute a copy of the approved EAP to PEMA's Area Office, the affected county Emergency
Management Agency(s) and PSAP/911 Center(s), the National Weather Service, and the DEP's Regional Office. Within 60 days,
the dam owner will submit a letter certifying distribution of the approved EAP and posting of NOTICE(s) to the DEP, Division of
Dam Safety.

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 states 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 through 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, drawoff 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. EAP – Emergency Action Plan - A formal document that identifies potential emergency conditions at a dam and specifies
preplanned actions to be followed to minimize property damage and loss of life. It contains procedures and information to assist
the dam owner in issuing early warning and notification messages to responsible downstream emergency management authorities
of the emergency situation. It also contains inundation maps to show the emergency management authorities of the critical areas
for action in case of an emergency.
O. EOP – Emergency Operations Plan - “The document … which describes the hazards, vulnerabilities, emergency
management situations and assumptions that affect the municipality, the concept of operations during an emergency, and the
various roles and assignments of the elected officials, emergency management coordinator and other emergency response
personnel, whether paid or volunteer.” ( From PEMA Directive D2007-1). The EOP includes checklists for known critical facilities,
special facilities, critical personnel, hearing impaired residents, non-English speaking residents, residents requiring ambulance
assistance, etc., as identified by local emergency management officials.
P. FACE - With reference to a structure, the external surface that limits the structure, e.g., the face of a wall or dam.
Q. FAILURE - An incident resulting in the uncontrolled release of water from an operating dam. See “Dam Failure”.
R. FOUNDATION OF DAM - The natural material on which the dam structure is placed.
S. GROIN - That area along the contact (or intersection) of the face of a dam with the abutment.
T. 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 flood-waters released
through spillways and outlet works of the dam or waters released by partial or complete failure of the dam. This could include an
area upstream of the dam from effects of backwater flooding or effects of landslides around the reservoir perimeter.
U. INUNDATION AREA - The downstream area that would be flooded or otherwise 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.
V. 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.
W. NOTIFICATION - To promptly inform appropriate individuals or emergency agency about an emergency condition so they
can initiate appropriate actions.
X. NORMAL WATER LEVEL (NORMAL WATER POOL) - For reservoir with a fixed overflow spillway crest, it is the lowest level
of that crest.
Y. OPERATOR - The person or position in a company or organization, who is responsible for a dam’s operation and
surveillance.
Z. OUTLET - A constructed opening through which water can be safely discharged for a particular purpose from a reservoir.
AA. OWNER - Any person, authority or agency that manages a dam or reservoir.
BB. PSAP - Public Safety Answering Point - an agency in the United States, typically county or city controlled, responsible for
answering 9-1-1 calls for emergency assistance from police, fire, and ambulance services.
CC. 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.
DD. SLIDE - The movement of a mass of earth down a slope. In embankments and abutments, this involves the separation of
a portion of the slope from the surrounding materials.
EE. 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.
FF. SPILLWAY CHANNEL - A channel conveying water from the spillway crest to the river downstream.
GG. 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.
HH. TOP OF DAM - The elevation of the uppermost surface of a dam, usually a road or walkway, excluding any parapet wall,
railings, etc.
II. TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT (TCP) – Manned or unmanned 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.
JJ. VOAD - Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters - collaboration of diverse organizations and citizens trained to meet
community needs in the wake of a large-scale disaster.
VIII. EXERCISE AND TRAINING
