Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 
     

    In addition to daily monitoring by project operators, all DEP flood protection projects undergo a rigorous safety inspection each year by trained engineering staff. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and DEP's Bureau of Waterways Engineering and Wetlands have developed a unique, cooperative arrangement to meet these inspection responsibilities. The annual inspections are rotated each year between the two agencies and the final inspection report is reviewed and co-signed by managers in each agency.
