This book was released on 1981 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the evaluation of the existing conditions, the condition of Big Elk Lake Dam is considered to be good. The flood discharge capacity of the dam was evaluated according to the recommended criteria and it was found that the dam cannot pass the recommended spillway design flood (100-year flood) without overtopping the dam. THerefore, flood discharge capacity of the dam is classified to be inadequate. The following recommendations should be implemented as soon as possible or on a continuing basis. (1) The owner should determine the nature and extent of improvements required to provide adequate spillway capacity. (2) The owner should investigate the need to install low level outlet facilities or prepare plans to lower the lake in the event of an emergency. (3) Around-the-clock surveillance should be provided during unusually heavy runoff and a formal warning system developed to alert the downstream residents in the event of emergencies. (4) The owner should develop a formal operating and maintenance plan and inspect the dam regularly and perform necessary maintenance. (Author).

This book was released on 1981 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The condition of Bel-Air Lake Dam is considered to be unsafe/ nonemergency due to a seriously inadequate spillway capacity. The overall condition of the dam is considered to be fair. Although at this time no signs of significant distress were observed, it appears that the center of the dam has significantly settled. The design drawings show the design freeboard to be five feet, but the available freeboard is only approximately two feet. It also appears that fill has been placed on the downstream slope, increasing the crest width from the design value of 10 feet to about 30 feet near the center line of the dam and greater than 50 feet near the left abutment. The dam has no functional low level outlet facility.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest Lake Dam is located on Forest Lake Creek in Forest Lake Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The original purpose of the impounded water was for ice harvesting and recreation. Additionally, water releases from the impoundment activated a saw mill. Presently, the lake is being used for recreation. The overall appearance of the dam is poor. Location of observed deficiencies are shown on the General Plan. The profile and typical sections of the dam are presented and are based on field survey made on the day of inspection. The survey datum for this inspection is elevation 1527 feet above mean sea level which is stamped on the USGS Bench Mark (No. TT15K, 1931) on the large sandstone slab, upstream of the service spillway. On the inspection date (12/10/1980), the lake was being drawn down for the winter. The lake level was approximately at elevation 1523.6, or 2.8 feet below its normal level. Deficiencies observed during the field inspection are described. Visible features are depicted in photographs.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the visual inspection, past performance and the available engineering data, the dam and its appurtenant structures appear to be in fair condition. In accordance with the Corps of Engineers' evaluation guidelines, the size classification of this dam is small and the hazard classification is high. These classifications indicate that the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) should be in the range of one-half the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) to the full PMF. The recommended SDF for this structure is one-half the PMF. The spillway capacity is adequate for passing only 10 percent of the PMF peak inflow without overtopping the dam. The spillway is considered to be seriously inadequate. The dam is therefore unsafe, non-emergency.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the evaluation of the existing conditions, the condition of Tuscarora Lake Dam is considered to be fair. Although some deficiencies were observed such as seepage from the toe and lack of upstream erosion protection, none were considered to be significant relative to the overall stability of the dam at this time. Periodic inspection and evaluation of the seepage conditions are recommended. It was found that the dam has no now level outlet facilities. The flood discharge capacity of the dam was evaluated according to the recommended criteria and the spillway was found to pass 10 percent of the PMF without overtopping the low spot of the embankment. This capacity is less than the recommended spillway capacity of 50 percent of the PMF which was based on the size and downstream hazard classification of the dam. Therefore, the spillway capacity is classified to be inadequate.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the criteria established for these studies, Elk Lake Dam is judged to be in fair condition. The recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the size and hazard classification of the dam is the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). The existing spillway will pass about 84 percent of the PMF before overtopping of the dam occurs. The spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. Several deficiencies were observed at the dam. The most serious is the probable lack of an adequate impervious barrier through the dam. Although some maintenance has been performed, the existing maintenance program could be upgraded. The following remedial measures, listed in approximate order of priority, are recommended to be undertaken by the Owner without delay: (1) Clear brush and debris on and adjacent to the dam. (2) Engage the services of a professional engineer experienced in the design and construction of dams. Utilize his advice in removing the trees on and near the embankment. If any seepage becomes evident after the brush, trees, and debris are removed, the condition should be assessed by the engineer. (3) Fill the slots by the spillway bridge with concrete or other suitable impervious material. (4) Fill the burrowing animal hole adjacent to the spillway with suitable impervious material.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maple Lake Dam is an earthfill embankment 14.4 feet high and 283 feet long, excluding spillway. The emergency spillway is located at the left abutment, consisting of an earth channel having a trapezoidal cross section. The bottom width of the spillway at the reservoir outlet is 56 feet. A service spillway, consisting of a 12-inch riser pipe and an 8-inch diameter outlet pipe, is located approximately 100 feet from the right abutment. The outlet works was reported to consist of an 8-inch diameter asbestos cement pipe, extending upstream of the riser pipe to the reservoir and terminating with two sections of an 8-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe, having a concrete plug at the inlet. Based on visual inspection, the Maple Lake Dam is judged to be in good condition. Under the present conditions, the spillway will pass approximately 37 percent of the PMF. Should the top of the dam be restored to its design elevation, the spillway could pass the SDF without overtopping the dam.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visual inspection and review of available design and construction data indicate that Longford Lake Dam is in good condition. In accordance with the guidance provided, the spillway design flood (SDF) ranges between 1/2 the PMF and the full PMF. Based on the size and extent of downstream hazard for the dam, the SDF selected for this facility was the PMF. The hydrologic and hydraulic computations indicate that the combination of reservoir storage and spillway discharge capacity will pass 88% of the PMF prior to overtopping the embankment. Therefore, in accordance with the recommended criteria for Phase I inspections, the spillway for Longford Lake Dam is considered to be inadequate.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Henry Dam is judged to be in good condition. The existing spillway can pass 60 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. If the embankments were raised 0.7 foot to their design elevation, the dam could pass the PMF with 0.05 foot of freeboard. The spillway capacity would then be rated as adequate. A low area between the two embankments acts as an auxiliary spillway. There is no stability analysis for the embankments. There is no evidence of significant problems threatening the embankments. The spillway weir is judged to be stable.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the inspection is to determine if the dam constitutes a hazard to human life or property. The dam consists of a homogeneous earthfill embankment that is 680 feet long and 64 feet high at its maximum section. The main spillway is a drop spillway located near the left abutment of the dam. It consists of a concrete riser connected to a 30-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe under the embankment. One 12-inch by 21-inch uncontrolled orifice is located in the upstream face of the concrete riser with the orifice crest at El. 1227.0, which is 27 feet below design elevation of the top of the dam. The auxiliary spillway is an excavated channel at the right abutment of the dam. It is grass-lined except for portions that were excavated into rock. The hazard classification is high hazard. Downstream conditions indicate that a high hazard classification is warranted for PA-468 Dam. It is owned by the Susquehanna County Commissioners. Its purpose is for flood control.
