INDIAN ROCK DAM AND SPILLWAY. A portion of the rock-faced dam can be seen at the left. The control houseis shown at the center. Flow in the creek normally enters the three gated openings under the control houseand is carried through a 15-foot tunnel to the creek channel downstream. The operator's residence appearsjust to the right of the control house. The concrete spillway (foreground) would be used only in the eventof a flood that exceeds the reservoir capacity. Note 3-hinged steel arch bridge which carries road acrossspillway channel.

MASTER PLAN

1959

A. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Project authorization. By enactment of the Flood Control Actapproved 22 June 1936 (Public Law No. 738, Seventy-fourth Congress),Congress authorized "Construction of detention reservoirs and related

flood control works for protection of ... towns in New York and Penn-sylvania in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers. . ." Indian Rock Dam in York County, Pennsylvania, constructed underthis authority, as amended by the Flood Control Act approved 28 June1938 (Public Law No. 761, Seventy-fifth Congress, third session), is apart of the comprehensive plan for flood control in the SusquehannaRiver watershed in southern New York and eastern Pennsylvania.

2. Purpose. The project is for flood-control purposes for the

protection of the city of York, Spring Garden Township, and York Countyfrom floods on Codorus Creek.

3. History. Construction of Indian Rock Dam was commenced inFebruary 1940 and was completed in September 19420

4. Scope. The purpose of this Master Plan is to present a sound,coordinated plan for the administration and development of the reservoirfor all desirable uses so far as such uses are consistent with the opera-

tion and maintenance of the project for its primary purpose and to pre-sent data on the type of development which will return maximum sustainedpublic benefits.

B. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROJECT AREA

5.· Location. Indian Rock Reservoir is located in York County,

Pennsylvania, on the Main Branch of Codorus Creek approximately 15 milesabove its confluence with the Susquehanna River. The Main Branch joinsthe South Branch to form Codorus Creek at a point 2.5 miles above thesoutherly limits of the city of York, Pennsylvania. The dam site is onthe Main Branch 700 feet above its confluence with the South Branch.

(See plate 1.)

1

6. Topography. The reservoir· occupies a narrow, shallow valleywhich was previously used largely as farm and pasture land. The regionsurrounding the project is used largely for agricultural purposes.The amount of timber cover in and around the reservoir is generally rather1.imited.

7. Accessibility. U. S. Highway 30, between York and Gettysburg,runs within one mile of the reservoir area on the north. State Routes

616, 66050, and 498 lead from this highway across the reservoir area.U. S. Highway 111, between York, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore, Maryland,passes the reservoir area approximately three miles to the east withseveral secondary roads leading from the highway to the reservoir area.

8. Engineering features

a. The dam is a rolled-fill earth embankment with rock facings

extending across the Codorus Creek Valley,-having a crest length of ap-

proximately 1,000 feet and a maximum height of approximately 83 feetabove the stream bed. The outlet works for releasing impounded waterfrom the reservoir consist of an approach channel, intake tower and operat-ing house, tunnel, stilling basin, and outlet channel located near theright abutment of the dam. The discharge of impounded water is controlledby three 6- x 13-foot vertical-lift tractor gates of the Broome type. A15-foot circular tunnel, 432 feet long including intake, has been exca-vated through quartzite rock in the right abutment. The intake transi-

tion is 36'-6" long tapering from a rectangular section about 13 feethi gh and 27 feet wide upstream, to the 15-foot diameter circular sectionat the downstream end. The outlet transition is 20 feet long, tapering

from the circular section at the upper end to a horseshoe section at theportal. A stilling basin is provided at the outlet of the tunnel toreduce the velocity of water issuing from the tunnel.

b. The spillway is located on the right abutment and is of the

side-channel type with a concrete overflow section, a concrete-lineddischarge channel, and a stilling basin at the outfall of the discharge

channel . The spillway crest at elevation 435.0 is 17.5 feet below ithetop of the dam and was debigned to discharge 62,000 c.f. s. The channelis 750 feet in length. The side walls of the channel are built in blocks,approximately 20 feet square, and are anchored to the rock slope;

co The reservoir has a flood-water storage capacity of 28,000acre-feet at spillway crest and 47,000· acre=feet when the spillway issurcharged to 10.5 feet. Reservoir storage at present is utilized onlyin time of flood. The reservoir is operated by regulating th& gate open-ings in such a manner that the total flow in the creek will not exceed

the capacity of the downstream channel. When the reservoir is full tospillway crest, the lake formed will have a surface area of 1,430 acresand a main valley length of about 7.8 miles. The dam controls 100 per-cent of the drainage area of the Main Branch of Codorus Creek and about41 percent of the total drainage above York.

9. Description of reservoir area. Approximately 1,759 acres, mostof which were acquired in fee, are within the taking line. Easementswere acquired on about 95 of the. 1,759 acres. A major portion of thisland lies below elevation 435.0, the top of the flood-control pool at spill-way crest, all of which will be subject to inundation to varying depths atinfrequent intervals during the operation of the reservoir for flood control.Due to pollution of the stream by papermill wastes at Spring Grove, in the

3

upper reaches of the reservoir, a recreation or conservation pool wasnot provided. Provision can be made at a reasonable cost to maintain

a small recreation pool of approximately 100 acres to elevation 390 feet,m. s.1. This would store 800 acre-feet, equivalent to 0.16 inch of runoff.

C. LAND USAGE AND DEVELOPMENT

10. Past land utilization in reservoir area

a. Since completion of the dam and reservoir in September 1942a program of outleasing of project lands for agriculture and grazing pur-

poses has been instituted. The actual advertising and leasing is performed

by the Real Estate Division, U. S. Army Engineer District, Washington, D. C.,in cooperation with the U. S. Army Engineer District, Baltimore, Maryland.As of 17 September 1958 approximately 1,398 acres of the 1,664 acres acmquired in fee were outleased for agriculture or grazing purposes to 20 dif=ferent lessees at an annual rental of $3,926.000 Of the 1,664 acres, ap-proximately 125 acres contiguous to the dam were withheld. Approximately91% of the project lands considered available for collateral use are beingutilized for agriculture or grazing. (See plate 2. )· Leases granted,effective 1 January 1957, were made on Department of the Army Lease Form,River and Harbor or Flood Control Property, ENG Form 1366, 1 April 1956.Leases were granted, in most instances, for a term of five years. Peri-odic inspections are made to insure that lessees comply with the minimum

conservation requirements of their leases. The out lease program in effect

has reduced the expenditure of funds by the Government for maintenance

and policing of the leased areas.

b. Seventy-five percent of the revenue from these leases is

distributed to the local political subdivisions to compensate them for

the taxes lost when the lands were acquired for flood-control purposes.

c. In addition to the agriculture leases certain portions of

the reservoir area are used, under license issued by the District Engineer,for short periods by units of the Army Reserve Corps and the Pennsylvania

National Guard for small arms firing and tank-driver training. Two small

parcels are under lease, one for radio communication purposes and theother for water supply.

11. Fish and wildlife management

a. The Coordination Act of 14 August 1946 (60 Stat. 1080) pro-vides that whenever the waters of any stream are impounded, diverted, orcontrolled, adequate provision, consistent with the primary purposes ofsuch impoundment, diversion, or other control, shall be made for theconservation, maintenance, and management of wildlife. The Act furtherprovides that in accordance with general plans covering the use of such

4

waters and other interests for wildlife conservation purposes, approvedjointly by the heads of the department or agency exercising primaryadministration thereof, the Secretary of the Interior, and the head ofthe agency administering wildlife resources of the State in which the

waters and areas lie, such waters and other interests shall be madeavailable without cost, for administration (a) by such State agency,if the management relates to conservation of wildlife other than

migratory birds, or (b) by the Secretary of the Interior if the watersand other interests have particular value in carrying out the National

migratory bird management program. The Corps of Engineers and the Fishand Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, formally agreed thatgeneral plans for fish and wildlife management should be developedjointly by the Corps of Engineers, the Fish and Wildlife Service, andthe appropriate State agency. This agreement was approved by the ActingSecretary of the Interior on 6 August 1954 and by the Secretary of theArmy on 20 August 1954.

b. In November 1956 the Game Commission of the Commonwealthof Pennsylvania requested that the lands of Indian Rock Reservoir bemade available for wildlife conservation and game management. The

U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service prepared a general plan for the use ofthe lands by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which plan was approvedby the Game Commissionon 18 February 1957, by the Secretary of the Armyon 1 May 1957, and by the Assistant Secretary of the Interior on24 May 1957· A copy of the plan is inclosed as exhibit A. A licensehas been granted the Pennsylvania Game Commission implementing thisgeneral plan. A copy of this license is included as exhibit B. Thislicense, for a period of 25 years, authorizes the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania to develop, use, and control, for the purpose of wildlifeand game management, with the exception of fish, and to administer andenforce the laws of the Commonwealth pertaining thereto, approximately1,540 acres at the reservoir. This includes all lands in fee, ex-cepting approximately 125 acres contiguous to the dam which has beenwithheld. The area licensed to the Pennsylvania Game Commission isindicated on plate 2. This license authorizes the Game Commission to:

(1) Construct and maintain buildings, fences, signs,and other structures above the 435-foot contour and maintain, improve,and construct roads and provide appropriate markings.

(2) Plant seeds, shrubs, plants, and trees and removeinterfering natural growth from and around apple, thornapple, dogwood,and other natural game-food producing trees, shrubs, and vines and,where necessary, prune fruit trees for the benefit of wildlife.

( 3)· Take, trap, remove, stock, or otherwise control allforms of wildlife and close the areas or any parts thereof to huntingand/or trapping provided that the closing of any area is consistentwith the State laws for the protection of wildlife.

5

(4) Enforce, within the licensed area, the wildlife andgame laws enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Penn-

sylvania, as well as such orders as from time to time may be issuedby the Government.

c. All activities of the Game Commission will be subject toapproval by the District Engineer, Baltimore. The license will have noeffect on the current program for leasing of reservoir lands for agri-cultural and grazing purposes. Future leases granted for agriculturaland grazing purposes will provide the required cooperation from thelessee to enable installing and maintaining the program for develop...ment of wildlife resources.

12. Recreation

a. The Indian Rock Reservoir is not at present suitable forrecreational development due to the pollution of the stream from papermills in the upper reaches. This pollution causes an obnoxious odor inthe vicinity of the stream. Newspaper accounts indicate that theSanitary Water Board of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in August 1957

ordered the paper mills to comply with the clean-stream laws and treattheir industrial wastes. No results of this order have been noted to

date, and it is not believed that this condition will be corrected inthe immediate future.

b. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was offered the facilitiesof the reservoir area for use in its recreational program. On 31 July

1958 the Department of Forests and Waters, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,rejected the area with the following comments: ". . . the area in questiondoes not meet with the minimum criteria established for sites to be con-

sidered for State park development. Its proximity to the city of Yorkand the questionable quality of the water of Codorus Creek are the twomajor reasons for our rejection of this site." In subsequent conversa-tions the Board recommended that, if and when the pollution of the streamis abated, that the city and/or county of York be offered, these facili-ties.

c. There is need for additional recreational facilities in

this area. There are no public parks within a radius of 10 miles of thereservoir area. Within this 10-mile area is the city of York and numer-

ous small boroughs and townships with an estimated population of 121,000.It is estimated that there are 419,000 people residing within a 25-mileradius of the dam in Pennsylvania. A.portion of rural Maryland alsofalls within this area, the population of which is not included in theabove figures. Public recreational areas in Pennsylvania within a 50-

mile radius of Indian Rock Dam are listed below together with facilitiesoffered.

The Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters is developing a recrea-tion area approximately 15 miles north of the dam site. This area willinclude a large body of water provided by damming the flow of a smallstream tributary to the Susquehanna River.

D. RECOMMENDATIONS

13. Fish and wildlife management. The license to the PennsylvaniaGame Commission provides for utilizing all available lands for wildlife

management, and no further action in this regard is recommended. Should

>4 >4 >4>4>4>4XX>4>4>4>4 picnicking

the stream pollution be cleared up to a point where the creek will supportfish life, the Pennsylvania Fish Commission will be offered the facili-ties of the reservoir. It is further recommended that any farmlands whichbecome vacant in the future, and which cannot be leased due to lack ofpublic interest, be made available for exclusive use of the PennsylvaniaGame Commission.

14. Outlease program. No change is recommended in the pr4sent out-lease program except as indicated in paragraphs llc and 13, above.

15. Recreation

a. No further action on recreational facilities appears feasibleuntil the stream pollution is satisfactorily corrected.

b. Should the pollution be corrected, it is recommended thatthe city and/or county of York be offered the facilities of the reservoir.It is further recommended that consideration be given at that time to pro-

viding a small recreational pool.
