Abstract:

Based on a visual inspection, operational history, and available engineering data, the dam is considered to be in good condition. The size classification of the facility is intermediate and its hazard classification is considered to be high. In accordance with the recommended guidelines, the Spillway Design Flood SDF for the facility is the Probable Maximum Flood PMF. Results of the hydrologic adn hydraulic analysis indicate the facility will pass andor store about 92 percent of the PMF prior to embankment overtopping. Conseqently, the spillway is assessed as being inadequate, but not seriously inadequate. Deficiencies at the facility are confined to seepage along the abutment-embankment contacts particularly the left abutment and poorly drained conditions downstream of the outlet conduit.
