National Dam Safety Program. Owasco Lake Outlet Dam Inventory Number (NY 776), Oswego River Basin, Cayuga County, New York. Phase 1 Inspection Report

Abstract

This report provides information and analysis on the physical condition of the dam as of the report date. Information and analysis are based on visual inspection of the dam by the performing organization. Owasco Lake Outlet Dam did not reveal any conditions which pose an immediate threat to life or property. Additional studies are recommended. The dam would be overtopped and become unstable by either the PMF or 1/2 the PMF. However, there would be no significantly increased hazard to loss of life downstream as compared to pre- overtopping failure. Minor deficiencies (joint needing repointing, gullies) are noted.
