Hi John,

We had a dam safety workshop last August, where the PADEP explained safety issues concerning the dam: https://glenprovidencepark.org/2012/11/07/dam-safety-current-future/ Richard Reisinger of the DEP indicated that they monitor the dam, and he did not think the safety situation was dire, however he certainly indicated that it does need to be addressed.

We also have questions about the dam’s ongoing safety- we have made some inquiries, and hope to be able to report more soon.

If there were any precautions to be taken, it would be by either the County as the owner of the park, or the swim club as controller of the Broomall’s Lake water level.

Thank you for your concern and your inquiry.

Stephanie

I have heard so many times that the dam is one of the most dangerous in the state so is it wise to even keep the park open? Does Media plan on doing anything to protect people when visiting GPP? I can’t imagine that things will be left as is considering all of the danger involved. If the dam is that precarious shouldn’t everything be shut down right away?
