Abstract:

Sunrise Lake Dam was inspected. The overall condition of the dam appears to be fair however, several deficiencies were noted by the inspection team. These deficiencies included seepage under the spillway slab cracks and spalling of the concrete in the spillway the erosion of the banks of the discharge channel of the spillway the erosion of the upstream slope due to wave action several shallow surface sloughs observed on the embankment slopes the presence of saplingss and brush on the embankment slopes and trees along the downstream, right abutmentembankment contact a need for periodic maintenance of the grass cover and a lack of a maintenance schedule. There exists a need for periodic inspection by a qualified engineer. The lack of seepage and stability analyses on record is also a deficiency that should be corrected.
