National Dam Inspection Program. Sawmill Run Dam (ARMCO) (NDI ID 915), Ohio River Basin, Saw Mill Run, Butler County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Based on the evaluation of the conditions as they existed on the dates of inspection (September 12 and October 3, 1978) and as revealed by visual observations, the condition of Sawmill Run Dam is assessed to be good. It is recommended that brush and trees on the upstream and downstream faces of the dam be removed. It is also recommended that an upstream control be installed on the outlet pipe, consisting of either a permanent structure or temporary means of blocking the upstream end of the pipe in the event the outlet pipe must be drained. It is further recommended that the owner develop a formal warning system to alert the downstream residents in the event of emergencies. Based on the recommended criteria, the capacity of the spillway is classified to be adequate.
