Lake Wilhelm Dam, also known by its U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) number PA 475, was built for flood control and recreation. The dam, which was designed by the SCS, is a zoned earth embankment with a crest length of approximately 500 feet and a maximum height of 41.5 feet. The upstream face has a slope of 3H:1V (Horizontal to Vertical) to E1. 1191.5 feet and a 2.5H:1V slope to the top of dam E1. 1211.5 feet. To increase structural stability, two 4-foot berms are located at E1. 1191.5 feet and 1194.5 feet, a 20-foot berm is at E1. 1189.0 feet, and a 10-foot berm is at E1. 1180.0 feet. The downstream face has a slope of 2.5H:1V and the crest width is 16 feet. (Author)
