This book was released on 1980 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is an earthfill embankment about 950 feet in length, and 94 feet in height, has a reinforced concrete principal spillway which is designed to maintain the recreation pool level and control the release of stored floodwater, and a 385 foot wide earth fill and earth excavated emergency spillway channel around the left abutment. No water is presently impounded by the dam because of serious deficiencies related to the soundness of the principal spillway structure and emergency spillway side slopes. The dam and appurtenances were found to be in POOR condition. The visual inspection indicated that the emergency spillway slopes are unstable, the downstream emergency spillway slopes have eroded, the principal spillway structure is failing at the transition, the pond drain intake structure is defective and the upstream and downstream slopes of the dam show erosion. Routing the test flood through the reservoir, with the initial pool level at the normal recreation stage, resulted in test outflow of 14,960 CFS which does not exceed the capacity of the spillways.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is comprised of an earth embankment, a central principal spillway, and and emergency spillway. The embankment has a maximum fill height of approximately 31 feet and a crest length of 170 feet. The principal spillway consists of a concrete intake riser structure, an impact basin, and a 30 inch diameter reinforced concrete connector pipe. The visual inspection indicated the dam to be in generally good condition. The test flood (1/2 PMF) will produce an inflow of 1620 cfs. The resulting outflow through the spillway is 1120 cfs at elevation 1189, a surcharge of 5.5 feet. The spillway has a capacity of 1920 cfs at elevation 1191, top of the dam. The dam is in generally good condition. It is felt, however, that certain items need attention. These include extension of riprap protection along the dike forming the left training wall of the emergency spillway and refastening of two trash angles on the intake riser.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Lake Dam is an earth embankment about 460 feet long with a height of about 15 feet above the brook channel. Near the center of the embankment is a reinforced concrete gravity wall spillway and control structure. The spillway is a free overfall straight drop type with a reinforced concrete, stone lined stilling basin and outfall channel, and provisions for flashboards or stop logs on the crest. A 30 inch square reservoir drain with hand operated sluice gate is also provided in the spillway structure. The embankment is in fair condition. The embankment is not at design height and downstream embankment protection has not been provided. The spillway is in fair condition. The spillway structure shows signs of poor workmanship and deficiencies which could eventually create hazards. Some leakage is apparently occurring under the embankment, but does not appear to be hazardous. Routing the flood flow through the reservoir starting at normal water level, but assuming that the flashboards would go out, the spillway would carry the estimated maximum outflow of 750 cfs with about 1.2 feet freeboard if the embankment is completed to design height.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kendall Company No. 1 Dam is a run of river facility that diverts water into a flume leading to the company's plant. Within the river channel there is a rock-filled, timber crib spillway structure 238 feet long. This overflow structure has a topwidth of 5 feet, and it has 2.9-foot high flashboards on its crest. The height of the dam, measured at the abutments of the spillway overflow section, is 24 feet. Based on visual inspection, the dam is judged to be in poor condition. The major concerns with respect to the integrity of the dam are deterioration of the wood crib abutment structure at the right end of the overflow section; trees growing in the wood crib abutment structure, on the upstream and downstream sides of the right abutment and on the dike; hazards resulting from the existing breach in the dike; lack of adequate erosion protection on the bank of the downstream channel near the left abutment; trees growing on the strip of ground between the dry stone masonry wall, on the left side of the downstream channel, and the right side of the concrete-lined flume on the left side of the valley; and lack of a low-level outlet for the dam. The spillway capacities are, respectively, about 22 percent and 38 percent of the routed test flood outflows. The depths of overtopping of the dam and dike that would occur during the test flood are 4.2 feet with the flashboards in place, and 3.5 feet with the flashboards removed.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powder Mill Pond Dam is located on the Ware River approximately one mile upstream of South Barre, Massachusetts. The dam, reconstructed in 1908 to generate electric power for the Barre Wool Combing Company, consists of an upgated concrete spillway approximately 125 ft. long and 20 ft. high, a short emergency spillway and an outlet canal with two inoperative timber gates. The dam was extensively modified during the 1930's. Based on a visual examination of the structure, the facility is in fair to poor condition. Nevertheless, there was no evidence of structural failure or other conditions which would warrant urgent remedial treatment. Based on size and hazard classifications in accordance with Corps of Engineers guidelines, the test flood for this dam is the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). The PMF outflow of 48,160 cfs would overtop the dam by 5.15 ft. With the water level at top of dam, the main and emergency spillways can pass 17,940 cfs which is 37 percent of the test flood.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lake Whittemore Dam is approximately 300 ft. long. It consists of a small earth embankment approximately 15 ft. high and an ungated concrete ogee spillway weir. The dam is generally in fair to good condition. There are no obvious signs of failure or conditions which would warrant urgent remedial treatment. Hydraulic analyses indicated that the spillway will pass the spillway design flood without overtopping the dam. The spillway design flood selected for this structure was the probable maximum flood. Recommendations for remedial work include clearing of trees and brush, repair of the downstream fieldstone wall and dry-laid stone wall adjacent to the gate valve, and minor earthwork and rip-rap repairs.
