Williams and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Township Line Dam is an earth embankment approximately 530 feet long with a height of 34 feet and crest width of 10 feet. The dam, originally constructed to impound and supply water for the Borough of West Chester, is presently being used for recreation, flood abatement and maintenance of a minimum discharge into the East Branch of Chester Creek. The concrete Ogee spillway has a crest width of 50 feet and is located at the south dam abutment. The spillway, for this 'Intermediate' size, 'High' hazard dam, is capable of discharging 48 percent of the PMF without overtopping of the earth embankment. A review of the hydrologic analysis indicates that the embankment would be overtopped by 0.15 feet for about 2 hours during a flood equal to 50 percent of the PMF. It is considered unlikely that the dam would fail during this event; therefore, the spillway is classified as 'Inadequate', but not 'Seriously Inadequate'. Based upon visual observations, review of the information obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Division of Dam Safety, and conversations with the Owner's representative, Township Line Dam is considered to be in fair condition. However, the detection of potentially unstable conditions at this site was severely restricted due to thick vegetation covering the entire embankment. Certain conditions require further investigations, maintenance, or monitoring.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ashland Dam is a rolled earth embankment with a concrete core wall founded approximately 10 feet into rock. The embankment is approximately 69 feet high at its maximum section with a length of approximately 500 feet impounding a reservoir of approximately 331 acre-feet. The upstream slope is riprapped from the crest to the toe. The downstream slope contains a rock toe drain and is grass covered. The embankment was constructed over an existing 20 feet high dam which became the upstream toe of the new embankment. The principal intake system consists of two pipes located at the base of the dam which are used for water supply and for blow-off. The larger pipe, 16 inches I.D., feeds water into a treatment building at the downstream toe of the embankment. The smaller, 12 inch I.D., pipe also feeds water through the pumphouse and discharges into a blow-off pit approximately 40 feet below the structure. Excess water is discharged over the spillway located on the left abutment. The concrete ogee spillway is approximately 63 feet wide and discharges into the natural stream channel about 400 feet below the dam centerline.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lower Tumbling Run Dam, owned by the Schuylkill Haven Borough, is used as a water supply structure for the town of Schuylkill Haven and surrounding areas. Limited records indicate that the dam was constructed in 1832 and completed in 1833. The dam failed in 1850 and again in 1869. The facility is judged to be in fair condition although the embankment slopes are considered to be steep. Hydrologic and hydraulic calculations indicate that overtopping of the dam will occur at approximately 30% of the probable maximum flood. Therefore, the spillway is considered to be 'Seriously Inadequate.' The dam is classified as an 'Intermediate' structure by virtue of its forty-nine foot height, and as a 'High' hazard dam consistent with a potential at failure for extensive property damage and loss of life at the water treatment plant and further downstream at Mount Carbon, Pennsylvania. There is insufficient engineering and construction data to adequately evaluate the stability of the dam and condition of the outlet works.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struble Dam is a zoned earth embankment, approximately 1,500 feet in length with a maximum height of 31 feet. The dam, a multiple purpose structure, was constructed as a portion of the Brandywine Creek Watershed Project. The reservoir has a normal pool storage capacity of 1,025 acre-feet for sediment accumulation and fish and wildlife. The normal pool surface area is 146 acres. An additional storage capacity of 596 acre-feet is utilized for flood water control. The top of dam elevation is 625.5, the crest width is 14 feet, and the side slopes are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3H:1V) upstream and 2.5H:1V downstream. A 12-foot wide berm is provided on the upstream face at Elevation 612.8 and the slope is lined with 18-inch thick riprap from the berm to Elevation 618.8. According to the 'As-Built' plans, the upstream and central portions of the embankment are composed of Zone I material, which is classified as a clayey silt. The central portion includes a cutoff trench with a 12-foot bottom width. The downstream shell (to Elevation 615.8) of Zone II material is classified as silty sand. The two zones are separated by a four-foot wide chimney drain which terminates in a drain trench at the downstream toe of the Zone I material.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaercher Creek Dam is owned by Berks County and was designed by the Soil Conservation Service in 1965. The dam is located on Kaercher Creek in Windsor Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, approximately 3/4 mile east norteast of Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The facility is considered to be in good condition and well maintained. The dam is considered a 'High' hazard potential structure consistent with its potential for extensive property damage and loss of life along Kaercher Creek and in the town of Hamburg, Pennsylvania. The design data was comprehensive and included hydrology and hydraulic calculations together with structural calculations and geologic data. Kaercher Creek Dam was designed to pass probable maximum flood (PMF) without overtopping. Therefore, the spillway is considered 'Adequate'.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grace Mine Trailings Dam is an earth and rockfill embankment approximately 2,000 feet long with a maximum height of 145 feet. The dam was constructed to impound iron ore tailings slurry pumped from a nearby iron mine operated by the Bethlehem Mines Corporation. The reservoir area provides storage space for the trailings which settle out of the slurry to leave a clear water lake. A homogeneous, impervious earth embankment was originally constructed in 1956-1957 to Elevation 600. Two extension dikes were constructed to Elevation 620 in 1976-1977. These dikes are located several hundred feet to the south of the right abutment. The side slopes were 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3H:1V) from the base of the dam to Elevation 540 and 2.5H:1V from Elevation 540 to the top of the dam.

Dziubek and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PA 485 is a zoned earthfill embankment with a total length of 630 feet, including the emergency spillway on the left abutment. The height and crest width of the embankment are 78 feet and 14 feet, respectively. The embankment was constructed using three zones of fill material. 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 emergency spillway for the dam is located at the left abutment. It consists of a vegetated trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 50 feet and 2H:1V side slopes. Hydrologic/hydraulic evaluations revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) equal to the PMF is required for PA 485. The spillway is therefore considered to be 'adequate'. The visual inspection revealed several minor deficiencies which require remedial action by the owners of the dam.

Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryerson Station State Park Dam is a 515-foot-long concrete gravity structure. A 200-foot-long ogee section near the right abutment (looking downstream) is the combined primary and emergency spillway of the dam. The maximum height of the dam is about 30 feet for the spillway and 42 feet for the nonoverflow section measured from the downstream toe. The width of the dam varies from a minimum of 6 feet at the crest of the nonoverflow section to about 30 feet at the base of the dam. The outlet works for the dam consist of a 36-inch-diameter conduit through the dam left of the spillway. Flow through the outlet conduit is controlled by a manually operated sluice gate located at the upstream end. The outlet works constitute the emergency drawdown facility for the reservoir. The dam is located in Ryerson Station State Park approximately one mile upstream from the town of Ryerson Station in Richville Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania.
