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.

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'.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general condition of the Refuse Settling Basin is considered to be fair. This assessment is based on visual observations that indicate a possible inadequate margin of safety against slope failure of a high ground water level exists in Embankment A. The condition is not considered to represent an immediate threat to the structure because of the relatively low impoundment pool elevation. It should, however, be evaluated. If a high ground water does not exist in Embankment A, the facility can be considered to be in good condition. The structure is classified as an 'intermediate' size, 'high' hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for an 'intermediate' size, 'high' hazard dam. The visual inspection indicated several minor deficiencies in addition to the possible high ground water condition. The deficiencies can be corrected or improved through implementation of the following recommended evaluation, remedial, monitoring and/or maintenance efforts.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 78 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 Russellton Slurry Pond 3 is considered to be fair. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of the embankment, spillway and seepage conditions and hydrology/ hydraulic analyses of reservoir/spillway capacity. The structure is classified as a 'large' size, 'high' hazard structure. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for a 'large' size, 'high' hazard dam. Pond 3's Spillway Design Flood is the Probable Maximum Flood. Spillway capacity is 'adequate' because the non-overtopping flood discharge was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in excess of 100 percent of the PMF. The Phase I investigation of Pond 3 revealed deficiencies and conditions which should be corrected or improved through implementation of the following recommended remedial, monitoring and/or improvement efforts.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 68 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 inspections, and supporting engineering calculations, the general condition of the Pond 3 is considered to be fair. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of embankment, spillway and seepage conditions and hydrology/hydraulic analyses of reservoir/spillway capacity. The structure is classified as a 'small' size, 'high' hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend 0.5 to one times the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for a 'small' size, 'high' hazard dam. The Pond 3's Spillway Design Flood is the Probable Maximum Flood because of its height. Spillway capacity is 'inadequate' because the nonovertopping flood discharge was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be 35 percent of the PMF. At 0.5 PMF, the embankment overtopping depth and duration would be 0.58 feet and eight hours and 40 minutes respectively. In the opinion of the evaluating engineer, this overtopping depth and duration would not cause a catastrophic failure of the embankment.

Dziubek and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polk Dam is owned by the Polk State School and Hospital and is classified as a 'Significant' hazard - 'Small' size dam. The dam was found to be in fair 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 not 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 Polk Dam. The 100-year flood was chosen as the SDF. During the 100-year flood, the dam is overtopped by a maximum of 0.61 foot for a duration of 1.50 hours. The spillway is therefore considered 'inadequate.' It is recommended that the owner immediately initiate an engineering study to further evaluate the spillway capacity and develop recommendations for remedial measures to reduce the overtopping potential of the dam. Several items of remedial work should be performed by the owner without delay.

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.

Hannan and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star Junction No. 2 Dam consists of an earthfill embankment and masonry spillway on the left abutment. The dam has a crest length of 341 feet, a maximum height of 30 feet and a storage volume of 31 acre-feet at the spillway crest level. The dam is classified by Corps of Engineers guidelines to be a small size, high hazard structure. Star Junction No. 2 Dam's embankment is assessed to be in poor condition. This is based on visual observations of the non-uniform slope, wet zones and state inspection reports. The downstream control was observed to be damaged and probably is not operable. No control or mechanism was observed to permit upstream flow control. The principal spillway is assessed to be in very poor condition. This is based on visual observations of the weir wall and training dike retaining wall. Both structures are partially collapsed and badly deteriorated and safe performance is questionable in the event of long-term, high discharge conditions.
