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 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of Brown Creek Dam is based upon visual observations made at the time of inspection, review of available records and data, hydraulic and hydrologic computations and past operational performance. The Brown Creek Dam appears to be in fair condition. The erosion on the crest and downstream embankment in the area of the principal spillway and along the wingwall of the emergency spillway crest should be repaired. Because the reservoir was dry (as is the normal condition) no determination as to potential wet zones or seepage areas could be made. Maintenance of the dam and operating facilities is considered fair. The Brown Creek Dam is a high hazard-small dam. The recommended spillway design flood (SDF) for this dam is the 1/2 PMF to PMF. Based on the potential for downstream loss of life, the spillway design flood has been selected as the PMF. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 80% of the PMF without overtopping the embankment (low spot). Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed inadequate.

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 1980 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shickshinny Lake Dam is an earthfill dam, 365 feet long and 33 feet high. The crest width of the dam is 17 feet. The upstream slope is 3H:1V and the downstream slope is 2.5H:1V. Both the upstream and downstream slopes are grass covered. Some riprap exists on the upstream slope. The principal spillway consists of a reinforced concrete riser and a 30 inch reinforced concrete pipe which passes under the dam. The top of the riser unit is provided with an anti-vortex device. A gate valve is provided on an inlet pipe just inside the riser unit. Based on our hydraulic and hydrologic analysis it was determined that the spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 52% of the PMF. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed inadequate. No major deficiencies were observed during the inspection. Seepage was noted at the left abutment contact and did not appear to be excessive. Erosion was observed at the outlet structure for the spillway and drainline.

Jeffrey Kimball and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Catalpa Dam is an earthen embankment with dry masonry walls on both the upstream and downstream sides. Portions of the downstream slope have been replaced with concrete walls. The maximum height is 23 feet. The crest width ranges from 27.5 feet to 30 feet, the crest length is 160 feet. A paved road passes over the crest of the dam. Parapet walls are present both upstream and downstream above the roadway elevation. The reservoir drain is operated by a sluice gate located in the valve house and consists of a 30 in. pipe of unknown material. The spillway is a three sided weir structure placed against the upstream wall with a total crest length of 26 feet. The weir crest is formed by an ogee crest with fish screens along the entire length. The ogee slopes to the entrance of a tunnel through the dam. The tunnel is 6 feet wide and 8.1 feet to 12.7 feet high. The tunnel discharges into an open rectangular shaped channel, at the downstream end of the structure. This rectangular channel continues for about 20 feet where it discharges into a tributary of Leonard Creek. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 33% of the PMF. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed inadequate.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Susquehanna Dam is judged to be in good condition. However, the spillway will not pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. If Lake Susquehanna Dam should be overtopped, it would probably fail by embankment erosion. If Lake Susquehanna Dam should fail due to overtopping, the hazard to loss of life downstream from the dam would be significantly increased from that which would exist just prior to overtopping. 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. One-half the PMF is less than the spillway capacity; therefore, based on the OCE criteria, the spillway is not rated as seriously inadequate.

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).

This book was released on 1980 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden Lake Dam is an earthfill dam, 550 feet long and 20 feet high. The crest width of the dam is 15 feet. The visible portion of the upstream slope was measured to be 1H:1V and the downstream slope was measured to be 1.5H:1V. No riprap protection was observed on the upstream slope. The spillway is located at the right abutment and consists of an overflow section 35 feet in length. The Hidden Lake Dam appears to be in poor condition. A slide was noted on the downstream slope approximately 240 feet from the left abutment. The slide appeared to be inactive. A wet area was noted to the left of the discharge end of the 15 ft. corrugated metal pipe drain line. Flow from the seepage area was determined to be less than 1 gallon per minute. The drain line for the dam consists of a 15 ft. corrugated metal pipe with the upstream portion of the pipe blocked. No adequate facilities exist to regulate the reservoir level. Based on the downstream potential for loss of life, the spillway design flood has been selected as the PMF. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 1% of the PMF without overtopping the embankment (low spot). Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed seriously inadequate. If Hidden Lake Dam would fail due to overtopping, the hazard potential for loss of life and property damage immediately downstream of the dam would be significantly increased from that which would exist just prior to the overtopping.
