The service spillway is located on the upstream face of the embankment near its center. It consists of a single stage, reinforced concrete, drop inlet, vertical riser connected to a 30-inch diameter sloping concrete conduit at its base. The emergency spillway is a vegetated earth channel of trapezoidal cross-section with a base width of 100 feet. It is cut into natural ground and located at the left abutment. The facility is provided with a reservoir drain consisting of a 50-foot section of 12-inch diameter B.C.C.M.P.
