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 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.

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.

Download or read book National Dam Inspection Program Chambers Dam NDI ID Number PA 1093 DER ID Number 63 21 Ohio River Basin Bane Creek Washington County Pennsylvania Phase I Inspection Report written by KIMBALL (L ROBERT) AND ASSOCIATES EBENSBURG PA. and published by . 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.
