This book was released on 1981 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of Bigby Run Dam is based upon visual observations made at the time of inspection, review of available records and data, hydraulic and hydrologic computations and past operational performance. The Bigby Run Dam appears to be in fair condition. Maintenance is considered fair. The concrete spillway is deteriorating with marked deterioration on the right spillway wall. Minor seepage was observed at the toe of the dam, adjacent to the left abutment contact. Seepage was estimated at 2 to 5 gallons per minute. The seepage should be monitored. The Bigby Run 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. Since the Bigby Run Dam just meets the minimum criteria; and since the dam is located in a rural area suggesting only appreciable economic loss; compliance with the current practice of the Baltimore District Corps of Engineers leads to the selection of the 1/2 PMF as the Spillway Design Flood (SDF).

Mihalcin and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam, despite being well maintained, is considered to be in poor condition. Observations made during the visual inspection suggest that the embankment may be structurally unsafe as extensive areas of seepage were noted on the downstream embankment slope and immediately below the toe area to the right of the outlet conduit. Seepage conditions became evident shortly after reservoir filling and have persisted in spite of the installation of a remedial sand drain system near the toe. Failure of the embankment does not appear imminent and the condition is presently considered non-emergency. It is recommended that the owner immediately develop and implement a warning system to notify downstream inhabitants should hazardous conditions develop. Included in the plan should be provisions for around-the-clock surveillance of the facility during periods of unusually heavy precipitation.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallo Dam is a 29-foot high earth embankment approximately 690 feet long (including spillway). The embankment is reportedly comprised of 3 sections which include an impervious core, a semi-pervious upstream section and a pervious downstream section. The facility is served by a chute channel spillway, with discharges controlled by a free overfall, concrete weir structure. The spillway is located near the right abutment, and has a crest length of 39 feet. In addition, the facility is equipped with a 18-inch diameter steel pipe encased in concrete used as a low level outlet as well as a 16-inch diameter steel siphon which was installed in 1973.

Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the evaluation of the existing conditions on March 14 and April 16, 1979, the condition of Little Blue Run Dam is considered to be good. No conditions were noted at this time that would significantly affect the structural performance of the dam. The flood discharge facilities for the dam were designed to pass the probable maximum flood (PMF) without overtopping the embankment. Therefore, according to the recommended criteria, the flood discharge facilities of the dam are adequate. Presently, the pool elevation is approximately 170 feet below the dam crest level. The pool elevation is expected to reach spillway crest level in about the year 2010. The following recommendations should be implemented on a continuing basis: (1) The cracking observed on the crest should continue to be evaluated by the design engineers. Also, attention should be given to the slump and seepage observed on the left abutment. Erosion ditches on the right abutment should be filled; and (2) A formal warning system should be developed to alert the downstream residents in the event of emergencies.

Mihalcin and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam is considered to be in fair condition. Structural deficiencies noted during the inspection include an inoperable drawdown mechanism, seepage and ponded conditions at the downstream toe, dense overgrowth (bushes, weeds, small trees) on the down stream slope, and minor concrete deterioration in the spillway. The size classification of the facility is intermediate and its hazard classification is considered to be significant. In accordance with recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) for this facility is 1/2 the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Results of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis indicate that the facility can accommodate approximately 32 percent of the PMF and/or 64 percent of SDF (1/2 PMF). Thus, the spillway system is considered inadequate, but not seriously inadequate.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galion Bay Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 400 feet long with a maximum height of 37 feet from the downstream invert of the outlet conduit and a crest width of 20 feet. Galion Bay Dam is one of the three dams which impound Lake Rene. The other two dams are Wolf Creek Dam, located at the west end of Lake Rene, and Lake Rene Dam, located on the east side of the reservoir. Lake Rene Dam, which was constructed in 1955, was the original dam at the site. Galion Bay Dam and Wolf Creek Dam were constructed in 1971 in conjunction with the enlargement of Lake Rene. The flood discharge facilities for Lake Rene consist of primary and emergency spillways associated with Galion Bay and Wolf Creek dams. The Galion Bay Dam flood discharge facilities are comprised of a drop inlet primary spillway located at the center of the embankment and an emergency spillway on the right abutment (looking downstream). The primary spillway structure consists of a single-stage reinforced concrete riser, a 36-inch-diameter reinforced concrete conduit, and a plunge pool at the downstream end of the outlet pipe. The emergency spillway is a 30-foot-wide trapezoidal earth channel excavated into the right abutment. The reservoir outlet pipe for the dam consists of a 15-inch steel pipe extending from the upstream toe of the dam to the drop inlet structure.

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.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the investigation is to make a determination on whether or not the dam constitutes a hazard to human life or property. Mine No. 60-Pond 5 is located at the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to the Center Branch of Pigeon Creek, in Somerset Township, Washington, County, Pennsylvania. The Mine No. 60-Pond 5 is classified as a 'high' hazard dam. The No. Mine 60-Pond 5 is owned by the Bethlehem Mines Corporation Eight-Four, Pennsylvania. The field inspection of Mine No. 60-Pond 5 was performed on 18 March 1981 and 26 March 1981 and consisted of: Visual observations of the embankment crest and slopes, groins and abutments; Visual observations of the principal (and emergency) spillway including approach channel, overflow crest, and discharge channel; Visual observations of the embankment's downstream toe area including drainage channels and surficial conditions; Visual observations of downstream conditions and evaluation of the downstream hazard potential; Visual observations of the reservoir shoreline and watershed; Visual observations of the outlet works; Transit stadia surveys of relative elevations along the embankment crest centerline, spillway, and across the embankment slopes. The visual observations were made during periods when the reservoir was at normal operating level.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the evaluation of the conditions as they existed on the dates of inspection (May 17 and 30, 1978), as revealed by the visual observations, and the review of available information, the condition of Indian Lake Dam is assessed to require immediate further investigation to determine its structural stability and appropriate measures for controlling seepage through the embankment. Field observations show that wet areas and slope irregularities exist on the downstream face of the dam, which suggests potential instability of the embankment. Various seepages on the left abutment also require further evaluation. The outlet pipe gate, which is the only emergency drawdown facility for the impoundment, is inoperative and should be repaired immmediately. Based on the recommended spillway evaluation procedure, the capacity of the spillway was found to be adequate to pass the recommended flow of probable maximum flood. It is recommended that the owner should develop a formal warning system to alert the downstream residents in the event of emergencies.

Andersen and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bear Rock No. 1 Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 560 feet long with a maximum height of about 26 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of about 8 feet. The upstream and downstream faces and crest of the dam are covered with riprap. The flood discharge facilities of the dam consist of a stone masonry structure with a flow width of 58 feet. The discharge from the spillway flows into an unprotected discharge channel which follows the left side of the valley. A dike is provided along the right side of the spillway discharge channel to prevent flows towards the toe of the dam. The outlet facilities consist of a 16-inch cast-iron blow-off pipe and 10- and 12-inch cast-iron supply pipes. Based on the evaluation of the existing conditions, the condition of Bear Rock No. 1 Dam is considered to be unsafe/nonemergency due to the seriously inadequate spillway capacity (30% of PMF). The condition of the embankment is considered to be fair.
