This book was released on 1981 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspection and review of data of the Cokeburg Water Supply Dam revealed that further investigations of the magnitude of a Phase II are required. The inspection did not reveal any problems which require immediate emergency action. The dam appears to be in poor condition and poorly maintained. The structure is classified an unsafe, non-emergency. The stability of the structure is questionable due to the existence of coke ovens in the downstream slope of the embankment and failure of the discharge culvert outlet. Considerable erosion and/or settlement has occurred near the outlet of the spillway discharge culvert. The interior walls of the culvert, at the outlet are caving in and debris partially blocks the outlet. Portions of the reservoir slopes may contain coal refuse, which could lead to potential landslides affecting the storage and volume of the reservoir. During periods of heavy precipitation a potential landslide could occur, increasing the possibility for overtopping of the structure. The Cokeburg Water Supply Dam is a high hazard-small size dam. The Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for a dam of this size and classification is in the range of 1/2 PMF to the PMF. The PMF has been selected as the spillway design flood based on the downstream potential for loss of life and property damage.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the investigation is to make a determination on whether or not the dam constitutes a hazard to human life or property. Mine No. 60-Pond 5 is located at the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to the Center Branch of Pigeon Creek, in Somerset Township, Washington, County, Pennsylvania. The Mine No. 60-Pond 5 is classified as a 'high' hazard dam. The No. Mine 60-Pond 5 is owned by the Bethlehem Mines Corporation Eight-Four, Pennsylvania. The field inspection of Mine No. 60-Pond 5 was performed on 18 March 1981 and 26 March 1981 and consisted of: Visual observations of the embankment crest and slopes, groins and abutments; Visual observations of the principal (and emergency) spillway including approach channel, overflow crest, and discharge channel; Visual observations of the embankment's downstream toe area including drainage channels and surficial conditions; Visual observations of downstream conditions and evaluation of the downstream hazard potential; Visual observations of the reservoir shoreline and watershed; Visual observations of the outlet works; Transit stadia surveys of relative elevations along the embankment crest centerline, spillway, and across the embankment slopes. The visual observations were made during periods when the reservoir was at normal operating level.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam appears to be in poor condition. No maintenance program exists for the dam and the lack of maintenance has led to a general deterioration of the structure. An upstream shut-off exists for the 12 in. drainline, but the capability of the valve to operate is questionable. Wet areas were observed on the downstream slope of the dam. One area observed at the right abutment contact; and a second wet area was observed on the downstream slope adjacent to the right spillway wingwall, approximately 10 feet below the right crest. The seepage should be investigated to ascertain its effects on the stability of the structure. The spillway is in a deteriorating condition and the concrete in the channel walls and channel bottom should be repaired. Undercutting of the channel floor if left unchecked could lead to the potential failure of the spillway structure. Brush and small trees were observed on the upstream and downstream slope. The brush and small trees should be removed in a controlled manner. (Author).

This book was released on 1980 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visual inspection, operational history and hydrologic/hydraulic analysis indicate that the facility is in good 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) of 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, the SDF is considered to be the PMF. Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate the facility will pass and/or store approximately 51% of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping at the low top of dam. Thus, the spillway system is considered to be inadequate, but not seriously inadequate. Should the embankment crest be regraded to design elevation, the spillway would be capable of passing approximately 60% of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PA-484 Dam is one of the 14 flood control projects in the Harmon Creek watershed. The dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 320 feet long, with a maximum height of 67 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 14 feet. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of a drop inlet primary spillway located at the center of the embankment and an emergency spillway on the left abutment (looking downstream). The primary spillway structures consist of a two-stage reinforced concrete riser, a 24-inch-diameter reinforced concrete conduit and a reinforced concrete impact basin at the downstream end of the outlet conduit. The emergency spillway is a 50-foot-wide trapezoidal earth channel excavated into the left abutment. The reservoir outlet for the dam consists of a 12-inch steel pipe extending from the upstream toe of the dam to the drop inlet structure. Flow through the reservoir outlet is controlled by a manually operated sluice gate located in the drop inlet structure. The dam is located on an unnamed tributary of Harmon Creek approximately one mile west of Hanlon Station in Hanover Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a review of available information, visual observations of conditions as they existed on the date of the field inspection, and supporting engineering calculations, the general condition of the Montour No. 4 Refuse Bank is considered to be fair. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of the embankment. The structure is classified as a large size, significant hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for a large size significant hazard dam. Montour No. 4 Refuse Bank's Spillway Design Flood is the Probable Maximum Flood. Reservoir capacity is 'adequate' because the non-overtopping flood inflow was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in excess of 100 percent of the PMF.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PA-647 dam is one of the seven flood control structures in the Wheeling Creek watershed. The dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 500 feet long with a maximum height of 95 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 15 feet. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of a drop inlet type primary spillway located near the left abutment (looking downstream) and an emergency spillway on the right abutment. Based on the evaluation of the conditions as they existed on the dates of inspection and as revealed by visual observations, the condition of PA-647 dam is considered to be good. The spillway capacity is classified to be adequate according to the recommended criteria.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chambers Dam appears to be in poor condition and poorly maintained. Erosion of the upstream slope has reduced the embankment crest to a width of 4 feet. Minor seepage was observed on the downstream slope of the dam, and a wet area was observed immediately beyond the toe of the dam. Brush and trees litter the downstream slope of the dam. No determination could be made as to the actual condition of the drainline culvert through the embankment. No determination could be made as to the condition or type of upstream closure on the culvert or whether the control is operable. The spillway located at the right abutment of the dam is in a deteriorating condition. Erosion exists along the right outside edge of the spillway wingwall. If the erosion is left unchecked, the potential for failure of the spillway and dam exists. The Chambers Dam is a high hazard-small size dam. The recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for a dam of this size and classification is in the range of 1/2 PMF to PMF. Based on the downstream potential for loss of life and property damage, the spillway design flood has been selected as the PMF. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling less than 1% of the PMF without overtopping the embankment low spot.

Dziubek and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PA 480 was designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) for floodwater detention. The total length of the dam is 555 feet, including the emergency spillway on the right abutement; the maximum height of the dam is 66 feet. The principal spillway is a drop-inlet structure consisting of a two-stage reinforced concrete riser connected to a 30 inch diameter reinforced concrete outlet pipe. The low-level inlet on the concrete riser is a 9 inch high by 15 inch wide orifice; this inlet maintains the normal pool level. There is 25.1 acre-feet of storage at normal pool level, all of which is reserved for a 50-year accumulation of sediment. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations, revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) to the PMF is required for PA 480. The 1/2 PMF was selected as the SDF. The spillway is therefore considered to be 'adequate'.

Dziubek and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neal Dam, owned and operated by Vernon C. Neal, is classified as a 'Small' size - 'significant' hazard dam. The dam was found to be in good overall condition at the time of inspection. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations, performed in accordance with procedures established by the Baltimore District, Corps of Engineers, for Phase I Inspection Reports, revealed that the spillway will pass the 100-year flood without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 100-year flood to the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) is required for Neal Dam. The 100-year flood was chosen because the dam is on the low side of the 'Small' size category. The spillway is therefore considered 'adequate.' Several minor items of remedial work should be performed by the owner as soon as practicable.
