Abstract
Meadville Dam, locally known as Rainbow Lake, is a zoned earthfill dam with a crest height of 40 feet and an embankment length of 420 feet. The upstream face has a slope of 3H:1V (Horizontal to Vertical) with a 10-foot wide berm at E1. 1164.0 feet. This berm provides access to the riser unit. The downstream face has a slope of 2H:1V. The crest of the embankment is 15 feet wide. A cutoff trench is provided in the embankment, with a minimum depth of 3 feet and a bottom width of 12 feet. The protective dike around adjacent Meadville High School is also a zoned earthfill embankment. The upstream face near the auxiliary spillway has a slope of 3H:1V and the downstream face has a slope of 2H:1V. After a transition section at original Station 12+00, both the upstream and downstream slopes are 5H:1V. The dike has an approximate crest length of 1335 feet (excluding the auxiliary spillway).
