Abstract
Wolf Creek Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 1050 feet long with a maximum height of 34 feet from the downstream invert of the outlet works conduit and a crest width of 40 feet. Wolf Creek Dam is one of the three dams which impound Lake Rene. The other two dams are Galion Bay Dam, located at the south side of Lake Rene, and Lake Rene Dam, located on the east side of the reservoir. Lake Rene Dam, Which was constructed in 1955, was the original dam at the site. Wolf Creek Dam and Galion Bay Dam were constructed in 1971 in conjunction with the enlargement of Lake Rene. The flood discharge facilities for Lake Rene consist of primary and emergency spillways associated with Wolf Creek and Galion Bay dams. The Wolf Creek Dam flood discharge facilities are comprised of a drop inlet primary spillway located at the center of the embankment and an emergency spillway on the left abutment (looking downstream). The primary spillway structures consist of a single-stage reinforced concrete riser, a 36-inch-diameter reinforced concrete conduit, and a plunge pool at the downstream end of the outlet pipe. The emergency spillway is an 130-foot-wide trapezoidal earth channel excavated into the left abutment.
