National Dam Inspection Program. Kyle Dam (NDI ID Number PA-417 DER ID Number 33-1), Ohio River Basin, Kyle Run, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Kyle Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 1000 feet long with a maximum height of 33 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 12 feet. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of two open channels, one located on each abutment. The 50-foot-wide rectangular concrete channel on the left abutment (looking downstream) constitutes the primary spillway of the reservoir. The 71-foot-wide rectangular concrete channel on the right abutment is the emergency spillway of the dam. The crest of the emergency spillway is about 0.9 foot above the crest level of the primary spillway, as measured during this inspection. The outlet works consist of a reinforced concrete intake tower, two 12-inch cast-iron supply pipes, and two 30-inch cast-iron outlet pipes. Pipes through the embankment are encased in concrete. Flow through the outlet pipes is controlled by manually sluice gates located in the intake tower. The two 30-inch outlet pipes constitute the emergency drawdown facility for the reservoir. (Author)
