Cleanup

[edit]

Cleanup tag was aimed at the BridgeInfo tag/macro. It either needs to be modified to allow "height=" or replaced by something more suitable for a dam. I temporarily put the height in as "clearence", which is not really something you have on a dam. Oddly you'd think that height would be a valid parameter for a bridge, consider the Golden Gate Bridge, height and clearence are vastly different. Part of the problem is that this article started life as a stub for a list of Susquehanna River crossings. I've added a lot more information about the dam and its impacts on the river.--J Clear 01:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To Do

[edit]

Some things I think ought to be done. Please sign any additions or strike out any you complete. Thanks. --J Clear 16:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Man-Eating Catfish (?)

[edit]

I would like to let you know that there are the possibility of "man-eating" catfish located at the head (Conowingo Reservouir) side of the dam. It may be a local legend (similar to that of the Loch Ness Monster), but it would hurt to possibility investigate this.

Eyewitness to Hurricane Agnes, the Dam employee named "Silvercloud"

[edit]

An eyewitness says that during Hurricane Agnes, several of the 53 floodgates would not open ('all the cables snapped') and that the dam broke loose at the keyway, requiring many massive bundles of fortifying cables to be drilled deep through and glued into bedrock below the dam. I'm surprised this isn't listed anywhere. Here's the youtube clip: youtube video

"Another storm like [Hurricane Agnes] will take that dam out...it doesn't make any difference what they do to it."
