Book excerpt: McNairy Cypress Creek Dam Number 17 is located in McNairy County, Tennessee, about 0.5 miles east of Selmer. The dam is an earthfill embankment 34.1 feet high and 960 feet long with a crest width of 15 feet. The dam impounds a 13 acre lake. McNairy Cypress Creek Dam Number 17 is in the small size category and has a downstream hazard potential classification of 'high' under OCE guidelines and category 1 by the State of Tennessee. On the basis of hydraulic analysis, the dam has adequate storage/spillway capacity to pass the 1/2 probable maximum flood (PMF) under antecedent moisture condition III (AMC III). The 1/2 PMF is the minimum storm required under OCE guidelines for a dam in the small size and high hazard potential classifications. At this time, the dam is considered not deficient. It is recommended that any erosion be repaired and a soil binding grass cover established on the embankment.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is a linear earthen structure 310 feet long and 44.7 feet high with a crest width of 14 feet. The upstream and downstream slopes are 2.6H:1V and 2.5H:1V respectively. The embankment is free of undesirable vegetation except for some scattered 1/2 - 2 in. diameter heavenwood trees. Most of these are at the downstream right toe and abutment tie-in. No signs of sliding, cracking, or differential settlement were observed on the dam or in the area immediately downstream. Erosion was insignificant. On the basis of a federal hazard potential classification of 'high' and an 'intermediate' size classification, the dam should pass the full Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) of 28.5 in. of rain falling in 6 hours. Analysis reveals that the dam will overtop by about 3.4 ft. for 1.8 hours during this storm. The 1/2 PMF will also overtop the structure. The dam received a condition classification of 'significantly deficient' because of its spillway limitations. It is recommended that a qualified engineer be engaged to develop project modifications that will allow the dam to pass the PMF and that the owner perform various maintenance operations.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is a linear earthen structure 325 feet long and 47.1 feet high with a crest width of 13 feet. The upstream and downstream slopes are 2.4H:1V and 2.7H:1V respectively. It is in the intermediate size and high ahzard potential classifications. The lake area is 7 acres at normal pool, increasing to 23 acres at the top of the dam. The service spillway is a 2 ft x 6 ft (inside diameter) concrete riser with a 15-in. steel cylinder concrete pipe. The drawdown consists of a 16-in. diameter formed opening feeding into the riser controlled by a 24-in. slide headgate. The emergency spillway is an open channel excavated in rock at the right side of the embankment. It has a base width of 25 feet and is trapezoidal in shape. The dam is well grassed and free of undesirable vegetation. Its slopes are uniform and well defined and exhibit no signs of structural instability. Some minor erosion exists on the downstream slope in two areas where construction equipment and 4-wheel drive vehicles have destroyed the grass cover. No cracks, signs of seepage, sliding, or differential settlement were observed on the dam or in the area immediately downstream. The dam is given a safety classification of 'significantly deficient' because of its spillway limitations. It is recommended that a qualified engineer be engaged to develop project modifications that will allow the dam to pass the PMF, and that the owner perform various maintenance operations. (Author).

This book was released on 1981 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is uniform well grassed and clear of any deleterious vegetation. The upstream slope of the embankment shows appreciable sloughing near the principal spillway. Scattered minor depressions appear sporadically along the downstream slope, presumably the result of dispersive soil. There are no indications of seepage on the slope or in the area downstream of the dam. No signs of differential settlement or other slope instabilities were observed. Appreciable erosion occurs near the water surface and along the upstream left side slope, apparently the result of cattle congregating in these areas. The dam is in the high hazard potential and small size classifications. OCE guidelines require such dams to pass the one-half probable maximum flood (1/2 PMF) to full PMF. Hydraulic and hydrologic analyses reveal that the emergency spillway is capable of passing the 1/2 PMF without causing the dam to overtop not breach during the storm. The upstream dam will overtop under the 1/2 PMF. Should failure of the upstream dam occur, analysis indicates that Mary's Creek Dam will be overtopped by 0.2 feet for 1.8 hours. The dam is given a condition classification of 'deficient' because of the erosion near the emergency spillway entrance and elsewhere along the upstream slope.

Moore and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dam is located in Monroe County about 0.7 miles southwest of Sweetwater, Tennessee and is an earthfill embankment 46 feet high and 1100 feet long. The crest width is 19 feet. The embankment slopes are 1V:3H and berms are located on both the upstream and downstream slopes. The dam controls a 1005 acre drainage area and is intended to impound the 9.4 acre Sherman F. Owen Lake. The service spillway is a 2 stage standard SCS cast in place concrete riser leading to a 30-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe. The service spillway outlet has an SCS standard baffled impact basin. The drawdown drain is a 24-inch diameter orifice controlled by a slide gate at the base of the riser. The emergency spillway is an uncontrolled earth saddle on the left abutment. The channel has a trapezoidal cross-section with a 200 foot base and 1V:3H side slopes. The reservoir has a leak which has prevented filling of the lake and is apparently due to an open solution channel that is draining into another watershed. The leak is not expected to affect the structural stability of the dam. No indications of instability were observed. The Dam is in the intermediate size category and has a downstream hazard potential classification of high under Corps of Engineers criteria and 1 under State criteria. On the basis of hydraulic analysis, the dam has adequate storage/spillway capacity to pass the probable maximum flood (PMF) under antecedent moisture condition II (AMC II). Under OCE guidelines, a dam in the intermediate size and high hazard potential classification is required to pass the PMF. (Author).

This book was released on 1981 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earth dam is 15 ft. high, 675 ft. long, and has a crest width of 13 feet. It is in the small size and high hazard potential category. The dam impounds a 5.5 acre lake used for recreation and water supply. The embankment slopes are moderate and have a well established grass cover. Vehicles have cut deep ruts into the crest. The principal spillway is a 36 inch diameter CMP riser with a 30 inch diameter CMP outlet. A slide headgate is located at the base of the riser to regulate the lake level. The emergency spillway is a irregular shaped earth channel at the left abutment. The channel is relatively flat and in good condition. The dam is classified as 'significantly deficient' because the spillway will not safely pass the recommended one-half Probable Maximum Flood.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is based on the findings of the Phase I investigation of OFDBA Site 60-6 on February 4, 1981 in accordance with 'Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams' Office of the Chief of Engineers. The earth dam is 54 feet high and 726 feet long with a crest width of 25 feet. At normal pool the dam impounds a 125 acre lake (2137 acre-feet) used for flood control. It is in the intermediate size and high hazard potential category. The downstream slope is 2.6H:1V and the upstream slope is 3H:1V. The embankment has moderate slopes and exhibited no signs of instability or uncontrolled seepage. Erosion is a major problem at this time as indicated by the presence of deep holes and gullies on the upper portion of the embankment and in the emergency spillway. Large holes were also observed below the right toe of the dam near the creek channel. The emergency spillway is a 250 foot wide grassed channel at the left abutment. There was no evidence that the spillway had ever carried flow. The principal spillway is a 36 inch diameter CMP riser with a 30 inch concrete pipe outlet. An 18 inch manually operated headgate is located at the base of the riser and is used to lower the lake level. A hydraulic and hydrologic analysis indicated that the spillway is capable of passing the recommended probable maximum flood (PMF). The dam is classified as 'unsafe non-emergency' due to the erosion on the embankment and the large holes just below the dam.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is a linear earthern structure 450' long and 47.5 high with a crest width of 18'. The upstream and downstream slopes are 3.2H:1V and 3. OH:1V respectively. The surface area of the lake is 5.4 acres at normal pool and 15.5 acres at the top of the dam. On the day of the inspection the reservoir was about 2/3 full for the first filling since construction. At the left abutment is an uncontrolled earth and rock saddle spillway with a base width of 72'. The principal spillway consists of a 2.5' x 7.5' reinforced concrete riser feeding a 30' steel cylinder concrete pipe. The drawdown is a 24' formed opening at the upstream toe of the riser regulated by a manually operated 24' sliding headgate. The embankment is uniform and well grassed with no signs of cracking, sliding, or differential settlement observed on the embankment or in the area immediately downstream. There are no trees or other deleterious vegetative growth. The dam is in the intermediate size and high hazard potential category. On the basis of these classifications, the structure is required to pass the full probable maximum flood (PMF) of 28.2' of rain falling in 6 hours. Analysis reveals that the spillway is capable of passing the flood without causing the dam to overtop. Since the dam has no significant defects or inadequacies, it is considered to be 'not deficient'.
