The Jadwin Dam is a dry dam located on the Dyberry Creek, a tributary of the Lackawaxen River, approximately 2.9 miles upstream of Honesdale, PA. Completed in September 1959, the dam is a 1,255-foot long, 109-foot high earthfilled embankment. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is updating the Jadwin Dam Master Plan. The Master Plan is the strategic land use management document that guides the comprehensive management and development of all project resources throughout the life of a USACE project.  The Master Plan guides efficient and cost-effective management, development and use of project lands.  It is a vital tool for the responsible stewardship and sustainability of project resources for the benefit of present and future generations.  The Master Plan guides and articulates USACE responsibilities, pursuant to Federal laws to preserve, conserve, restore, maintain, manage, and develop project lands and waters and associated resources.  The intent of an updated Master Plan is to present a current inventory and assessment of resources, provide an analysis of resource use, and evaluate existing and future needs required to protect and improve the value of resources at a project. 

The Jadwin Dam Master Plan needs revision to address changes in regional land use, population, outdoor recreation trends, and the USACE management policy. Key topics to be discussed in the revised Master Plan include revised land use classifications, new natural and recreational resource management objectives, recreation facility needs, and special issues such as invasive species management and threatened and endangered species habitat. The Master Plan revision WILL NOT address the technical and operational aspects of the dam related to flood risk management. During the process, the team will collect data, conduct analysis, prepare a draft report (which will become available for public and agency comments), and ultimately finalize and adopt the new Master Plan.
