Book National Dam Safety Program  Sixmile Creek Dam  Inventory Number N Y  395   Oswego River Basin  Tompkins County  New York  Phase I Inspection Report

Download or read book National Dam Safety Program Sixmile Creek Dam Inventory Number N Y 395 Oswego River Basin Tompkins County New York Phase I Inspection Report written by George P. Fulton and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual inspection of the dam did not reveal any conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, several deficiencies were noted which should be evaluated and remedied. The most serious deficiency was a lack of a safe, suitable access to the operating mechanism for the low-level outlet. In the event of an emergency at the dam, it would be extremely difficult to dewater the reservoir under present conditions. The hydrologic/hydraulic analysis performed indicates that the spillway does not have sufficient capacity to discharge the peak outflow from storms exceeding 7.5 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Since the spillway already extends across the full width of the gorge, there is no way to effectively increase its length or capacity. In addition, it should be noted that even if the dam did not exist, downstream flooding would occur during large storm events due to the configuration of the bedrock channel.

Book Lampreys  Biology  Conservation and Control

Download or read book Lampreys Biology Conservation and Control written by Margaret F. Docker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, published in two volumes, provides the most comprehensive review of lamprey biology since Hardisty and Potter’s “The Biology of Lampreys” published more than 30 years ago. This second volume offers a synthesis of topics related to the lamprey gonad (e.g., lamprey sex ratios, sex determination and sex differentiation, sexual maturation, and sex steroids), the artifical propagation of lampreys, post-metamorphic feeding and the evolution of alternative feeding and migratory types, the history and status of sea lamprey control in the Laurentian Great Lakes and Lake Champlain, and an overview of contributions of lamprey developmental studies for understanding vertebrate evolution.

Book National Dam Safety Program  Potters Falls Dam  Inventory Number N Y  378   Oswego River Basin  Tompkins County  New York  Phase I Inspection Report

Download or read book National Dam Safety Program Potters Falls Dam Inventory Number N Y 378 Oswego River Basin Tompkins County New York Phase I Inspection Report written by George P. Fulton and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual inspection of this dam and engineering analyses which have been performed revealed that several deficiencies exist on this structure. The worst of these deficiencies was the localized spalling and erosion of the gunite covering the dam. This was observed in three areas on the downstream face and toe. A more thorough examination of the gunite when there is no discharge over the spillway is needed to evaluate the extent and cause of this deterioration. If the gunite is not repaired, the interior concrete of the dam will become exposed to erosion. Using the Corps of Engineer's Guidelines for the initial review of spillway adequacy, it has been determined that the structure would be overtopped by all storms exceeding 31 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). During a one-half PMF storm, the abutments of the dam would be overtopped by 3.4 feet. The dam is a concrete arch-gravity structure with bedrock at both abutments. While overtopping is not likely to induce failure from erosion, a stability analysis indicates that the factor of safety is below the recommended level during the one-half PMF storm. If the dam were to fail, it would increase the degree of flooding in downstream residential areas. Therefore, the spillway is assessed as seriously inadequate.

Book Augie s Quest

Download or read book Augie s Quest written by Augie Nieto and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to "orphan" diseases that aren't big enough profit centers for the pharmaceutical industry or get caught in the web of government funding and academic research? Augie Nieto found out in the spring of 2005: At forty-seven years old he was diagnosed with ALS. Devastated, Augie struggled with depression and attempted suicide. When he awoke from a coma, with friends and family surrounding him, his sense of faith and mission were renewed. Fast-forward one year: Augie and his wife, Lynne, were profiled as "Real Heroes" on the Today show. Their determination to beat the disease had already led to major overhauls in the way ALS research was conducted. In partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Augie had set up a foundation and lab to coordinate and oversee ALS research and testing across the globe. By centralizing operations and championing an entrepreneurial approach to medical research, Augie and his team accomplished remarkable results in less than two years. Part inspiration, part business innovation, Augie's Quest illustrates how one person can make a meaningful difference. Praise for Augie Nieto: George H. W. Bush, former U.S. president: "Your contributions to the fitness industry are well known, and your dedication an inspiration." Lance Armstrong, seven-time "Le Tour de France" champion: "I think it says a lot about Augie, the fact that everybody came together regardless of whether or not it's for competing gyms or competing companies that make equipment. They all say, this is one of our own; this is a guy who's committed his life to our industry and has been dealt a serious blow. We're going to be there for him, we're going to say, we're here for you and we're part of the Quest." Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California: "Your success has been incredible. But you are so much more than just a successful businessman. You are the greatest husband, a great father, and a terrific friend. So,
