Jeffrey Kimball and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Louise Dam appears to be in poor condition. Lake Louise Dam is a high hazard small size dam. The spillway design flood is in the range of 1/2 PMF to PMF. The spillway design flood was selected to be the PMF (probable maximum flood) based on downstream potential for loss of life and property damage. The spillway is capable of controlling approximately 45% of the PMF. The dam breach analysis indicated that a significant increase in the downstream potential for loss of life and property damage exists should the dam fail. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed seriously inadequate. The spillway exit and entrance channels are in poor condition. The heavy vegetation creates the potential for water infiltration and made visual inspection of the embankment difficult. Lake Louise Dam is classified as an unsafe non-emergency dam.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam is considered to be in fair condition. The size classification of the facility is small and its hazard classification is considered to be high. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the facility ranges between the 1/2-PMF (Probable Maximum Flood) and the PMF. Due to the high potential for damage to downstream structures and possible loss of life that could be associated with a sudden breach of the embankment, the SDF is considered to be the PMF. Results of hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate the spillway for Wadham Creek Dam is capable of passing and/or storing the PMF. Consequently, the spillway is considered adequate.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Mill Creek Dam is judged to be in good condition. However, the spillway (main and auxiliary) will not pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. Therefore, based on criteria established for these studies by the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE), the spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. The spillway will pass one-half the PMF without overtopping the dam. Therefore, based on the OCE criteria established for these studies, the spillway capacity is not rated as seriously inadequate. The existing spillway can accommodate a flood with a peak inflow of 67 percent of the PMF peak flow. The spillway capacity is controlled by the elevation of a low area on the top of dam near the spillway. If the top of the dam were brought up to the design elevation, the spillway would accommodate a flood with a peak inflow of 118 percent of the PMF peak inflow. The spillway would then be rated as adequate. (Author).

Based on criteria established for these studies by the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE), the spillway capacity is rated as adequate. The existing spillway can accommodate a flood with a peak inflow of 146 percent of the PMF flow. If the low areas of the top of the embankment were brought up to design grade, the spillway could accommodate a flood with a peak inflow of 154 percent of the PMF peak inflow.

Download or read book National Dam Inspection Program Lake Jean Dam NDI I D Number PA 00570 PennDER I D Number 40 16 Susquehanna River Basin Branch of Kitchen Creek Luzerne County Pennsylvania Phase I Inspection Report written by Bernard M. Mihalcin and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Jean Dam is a zoned earth embankment approximately 26 feet high and 780 long, including spillway. The emergency spillway is an uncontrolled, rectangular, concrete and rock cut chute channel located at the right abutment. The crest of the spillway is 20 feet long and is spanned by a concrete bridge which supports a portion of the bituminous roadway that covers the embankment crest. Drawdown capability is provided by means of a 30-inch diameter cast iron blowoff pipe controlled at the inlet by a 30-inch diameter sluice gate. The facility consists of a main dam (Lake Jean Dam) and two appurtenant saddle dams (east and west dikes). Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate the facility will pass and/or store about 73 percent of the PMF prior to overtopping the east dike. Thus, based on the screening criteria contained in the recommended guidelines, the spillway is considered to be inadequate, but not seriously inadequate. Should the saddle dams be regraded to their design elevation, the spillway would then pass floods in excess of the PMF and would be considered adequate.

Jeffrey Kimball and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lake of the Four Seasons Dam consists of two earthfill impounding structures. The main embankment (dam) is an earthfill dam, 1500 feet long and 29 feet high. At the left abutment of the main embankment (dam) are two spillways. One spillway consists of a concrete culvert type spillway, modified to function as an orifice. Immediately adjacent to the concrete structure at the left abutment is an open earth cut channel which serves as a temporary auxiliary spillway for the dam. The second impounding structure (dike) is located approximately 1/2 mile southwest of the main embankment. The dike is approximately 600 feet long, and 26 feet high. A permanent concrete ogee spillway is located approximately 500 feet southwest of the dike on the left abutment. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 54% of the PMF. Definitions used by the Corps of Engineers indicate that the spillway should be rated as inadequate. However, the temporary and permanent (as designed) auxiliary spillway has the potential for erosion of the exit channel and subsequent erosion of the toe of dam. It is possible that a failure of the dam could result at less than 1/2 PMF by erosion of the embankment toe.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bear Creek Lake Dam is a rock filled timber crib structure approximately 325 feet long and 17 feet high at its maximum section. An ungated drop spillway with an 158-foot long sharp crested weir is located approximately 60 feet from the right abutment (looking downstream). The 80 acre lake is used for recreation by the residents of Bear Creek Village. It is unknown when the dam was constructed. In the state inspection report of April, 1915 it is stated, 'This dam was constructed a great many years ago, but it has been repaired from time to time, so that more than likely none of the original structure is now in existence.' Examination of the results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate that the drop spillway is capable of passing 11 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the embankment. Failure of the dam would significantly increase the hazard to loss of life downstream of the dam. Therefore, the capacity of the drop spillway is classified as 'seriously inadequate.' The dam is considered to be 'unsafe (non-emergency).'

This book was released on 1979 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryant Pond Dam is an earthfill and rockfill dam with a concrete core-wall. The earthfill extends along the upstream side of the core-wall and the rockfill extends along the downstream side. The dam, including the main and auxiliary spillways, is 425 feet long. The design height is 19 feet. The main spillway is located near the left abutment of the dam. It is a series of concrete slabs forming a cascade to the natural stream. Other than its exterior lines and grades, details of the main spillway are unknown. The main spillway crest is 40 feet long and 5 feet below the design top of the dam. The auxiliary spillway was designed to be a 175-foot long by 2-foot deep notch in the concrete core-wall. It was constructed 200 feet long. The auxiliary spillway was designed to allow water to flow over the rockfill on the downstream slope of the embankment. The outlet works is located directly to the right of the main spillway. It consists of two 2-foot square concrete conduits with concrete sluice gates at the upstream end. The various features of the dam, as designed, are shown on the Plates at the end of the report. The existing features are shown in Appendix D. (Author).
