This book was released on 1981 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a review of available design information and visual observations of conditions as they existed on the date of the field inspection, the general condition of Silt Pond A is considered to be good. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of the embankment and appurtenances, and hydrologic/hydraulic analyses of reservoir/spillway capacity. The structure is classified as a 'small' size, 'high' hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend one-half to one times the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for a 'small' size, 'high' hazard dam. Silt Pond A'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 field inspection indicated three minor deficiencies which can be corrected or improved through implementation of the following recommended evaluation, remedial and/or maintenance efforts.

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 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 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PA-482 dam is one of the 14 flood control projects in the Harmon Creek watershed. The dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 460 feet long with a maximum height of 38 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 pipe. The emergency spillway is a 200-foot-wide trapezoidal earth channel excavated into the left abutment. The reservoir outlet for the dam consists of a 15-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 lcoated in the drop inlet structure.

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.

Mazzella and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Raw Water Pond was designed and constructed as an earthfill structure with clay core and cutoff along the centerline. The embankment is 1190 feet long, with a toe to crest height of 25.2 feet and a crest width of 25 feet. The Raw Water Pond outlet works is a 14 inch diameter steel pipe with an intake at the bottom of the Pond. The outlet works maintains the operating pool approximately 1.5 feet below the invert of the principal (and emergency) spillway. A gate valve and flow monitoring weir box are located downstream of the embankment. Outlet works flows are discharged to the Treated Water Pond below. Based on a review of available design information and visual observations of conditions as they existed on the date of the field inspection, the general condition of the Raw Water Pond is considered to be poor. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations that indicate a possible inadequate margin of safety against slope failure of the embankment. Spillway capacity is 'inadequate' because the non-overtopping flood discharge was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in 0.18 PMF.

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.
