Abstract
Cabin Creek Dam is an earth-fill dam with a concrete core wall. The embankment is 207 feet long and 23.2 feet high at the maximum section. The upstream slope is 2.25H:1V and covered with riprap. The downstream slope is 2H:1V and grass covered with large trees growing near the toe. The 18 inch wide core wall extends 2 feet into rock and projects 5 feet above rock. The foundation was grouted during construction. The spillway is located on the left abutment. The spillway consists of a 30 feet long concrete weir with a hydraulically operated Bascule crest gate. The spillway exit channel is cut into rock with a dry rubble, earth and rock dike keeping flow in a confined channel. The intake tower is located near the maximum section about 40 feet from the crest. A bridge serves as access from the embankment crest to the intake tower. A 12 inch cast iron pipe serves as the emergency blow off line and water intake line. The intake tower has two intakes at different elevations. (Author)
