This book was released on 1981 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visual inspection and review of available design and construction data indicate that Quakake Dam is in fair condition. The limited spillway capacity is the primary deficiency which causes concern for the safety of this facility. The dam in its present condition is considered to be unsafe, non-emergency. In accordance with the guidelines provided, the spillway design flood (SDF) ranges between 1/2 the PMF to the full PMF. Based on the size of dam, the SDF selected was 1/2 the PMF. The hydrologic and hydraulic computations indicate that the combination of reservoir storage and spillway discharge capacity will pass only 9% of the PMF prior to overtopping the embankment. Overtopping the dam could cause failure, which would lead to a significant increase in downstream loss of life and property damage. Therefore, the spillway for Quakake Dam is considered to be seriously inadequate.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dam G is a homogeneous earthfill embankment with a concrete core-wall. The embankment is 490 feet long and 19 feet high at maximum section. There are two outlet works at the dam. The first outlet works, which is near the right end of the embankment, consists of a concrete intake structure, two 24-inch diameter cast-iron pipes, and a valve house. This outlet works is connected to the water supply system. The second outlet works, which is near the left end of the dam, is similar to the first except it consists of a single 24-inch diameter pipe. The second outlet works provides the emergency drawdown capability. The concrete chute spillway is at the left abutment of the dam. Its crest is 3.0 feet below the design elevation of the top of the dam and is 75 feet long. The approach channel is short and concrete paved. The exit channel is a continuation of the chute. A bridge extends across the spillway crest. It is supported by two piers.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Creek Dam is a zoned rolled earth and coarse fill embankment with riprap facing on the upstream side. The downstream side is a rolled coarse rock shell. It is approximately 1076 feet long and 135 feet high. This dam was designed to pass the probable maximum flood. However, it is the second in a series of two dams on Wild Creek above Beltzville Reservoir. A sudden breach of the upper, Penn Forest, dam would probably result in overtopping failure of Wild Creek Dam. The Corps of Engineers' Beltzville Dam, immediately downstream from Wild Creek, is reportedly designed to withstand this event. Since Wild Creek Dam has been designed to pass the PMF, the spillway is considered to be 'Adequate'. Wild Creek Dam appears to be in excellent condition. No visible signs of uncontrolled leakage, sloughing, or significant displacement were discovered other than along the spillway retaining walls where some cracking was observed. It was noted that this zoned embankment dam was designed without protective filters between the impervious core and coarser outer shell. However, no indications of internal erosion have manifested themselves in over 40 years of service.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The visual inspection and review of available design and construction information indicate that Lake Quinn Dam is in fair condition. Deficiencies noted during the inspection included the lack of functional drawdown facilities and minor seepage through the masonry near the right abutment. Based on the size and hazard classification of the dam, the recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) varies between 1/2 the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) and the PMF. The 1/2 PMF has been selected as the SDF due to the size of the dam and reservoir, and the downstream conditions. The hydrologic and hydraulic computations indicate that the combination of reservoir storage and spillway discharge capacity will pass only 3 percent of the PMF without overtopping the dam. Overtopping the dam could cause failure, which would lead to a significant increase in downstream loss of life and property damage. Therefore, the spillway for Lake Quinn Dam is considered to be seriously inadequate, and the dam is judged to be unsafe, non-emergency.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations, past operational performance, and according to criteria established for these studies, Dam F is judged to be unsafe, nonemergency, because the spillway capacity is rated as seriously inadequate. The spillway can pass 29 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The Owner has placed sandbags along the spillway crest, which reduces the spillway capacity further. The resulting outflows from the failure of Dam F would overtop and cause the failure of Dam G. This would result in the loss of life. As a whole, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. There are bulges on the downstream slope that apparently have not stabilized. The dam has essentially no operational emergency drawdown capability. Maintenance at the dam is marginal.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on available records, visual inspection, calculations, and past operational performance, Lake Paupackan Dam is judged to be in fair condition. Considering the size and hazard classification of the dam, the recommended Spillway Design Flood (SDF) varies between the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) and the PMF. The 1/2 PMF was, in this case, selected as the SDF. The spillway and reservoir, under existing conditions, will pass approximately 19 percent of the PMF before overtopping of the dam occurs. The spillway is, therefore, rated as inadequate.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this inspection is to determine if the dam constitutes a hazard to human life and property. The Dam's location is Bucks Township, Luzerne County. The overall appearance and general condition of the dam and appurtenances are fair. The spillway crest has been raised and the dam crest is two feet below design elevation. These and other noteworthy deficiencies noted. The reservoir pool was 3.5 feet below spillway crest (corewall) on the day of the initial inspection, 22 October 1980. The lake was purposely drawn down so that maintenance of the dam could be performed. On the date of the review inspection, the reservoir level was one foot above the spillway crest (corewall).

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 intermediate and its hazard classification is considered to be high. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for the facility is the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate the facility will pass and/or store only about 40 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping. A breach analysis indicates that failure under less than 1/2 PMF conditions could lead to increased downstream damage and potential for loss of life. Thus, based on screening criteria provided in the recommended guidelines, the spillway is considered to be seriously inadequate and the facility unsafe, non-emergency.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: YMCA Dam is an earthfill dam, 42 feet high and 608 feet long. The crest width is 9 feet. The upstream slope is 2.5H:1V and grass covered. The downstream slope was measured to be 2H:1V and grass covered. The reservoir drain consists of a 24 inch corrugated metal pipe with a concrete endwall located 270 feet from the left abutment. The spillway consists of a 42 foot long ogee section, 150 feet from the left abutment. The inspection and review of data of the YMCA Dam did not reveal any problems which require emergency action. The dam appears to be in fair condition. The seepage which was noted along the toe of dam should be monitored and evaluated by a professional engineer knowledgeable in earth dams. The evaluation should be implemented immediately. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling approximately 81% of the PMF. Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed adequate.

Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hosensack No. 4 Dam is a masonry structure with an upstream embankment. The dam has a maximum height of about 32 feet and a length of 310 feet. A 175-foot long overflow spillway is located about 100 feet from the right abutment near the center of the structure and is capped with concrete in the masonry portion. A 24-inch diameter reinforced concrete drain pipe is located in the non-overflow portion of the dam about 3.5 feet left of the spillway section. Discharge through the pipe is controlled with stop planks in a drainage tower approximately 15 feet downstream from the intake. A review of the results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses indicates that the spillway is able to pass the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) without the dam being overtopped; therefore, the spillway is considered 'Adequate'. Based on visual observation and a review of the information obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Hosensack No. 4 Dam appears to be in poor condition.

Mihalcin and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, the dam is considered to be in good condition. The size classification of the facility is small and the hazard classification is considered to be high. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) ranges between the 1/2 PMF (Probable Maximum Flood) and the PMF. Since the facility is classified near the lower bounds of the small category, the SDF is considered to be the 1/2 PMF. Results of hydrologic and hydraulic analyses indicate the facility will pass and/or store approximately 40 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping at the low area in the embankment crest (elevation 1177.4). Breach analysis indicates that failure under less than 1/2 PMF conditions could lead to increased downstream damage and potential for loss of life. Thus, based on screening criteria provided by the recommended guidelines, the spillway is considered to be seriously inadequate and the facility unsafe, non-emergency. Recommendations for owner action are listed.
