National Dam Safety Program. Higinbotham Brook Watershed Project (Inventory Number NY 703). Oswego River Basin, Madison County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
This report provides information and analysis on the physical condition of the dam as of the report date. The examination of documents and visual inspection of the Higinbotham Brook dams and appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute a hazard to human life or property. The total discharge capacity of the spillways is adequate for the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). The following remedial actions are required during this construction season: (1) Repair the erosion areas on and in the vicinity of Dam 1. Seed and mulch all unprotected areas to establish erosion resistant vegetation; (2) Repair the eroded area in the downstream channel; (3) Periodically monitor the slopes in the reservoir area and repair as required; (4) Provide a program of seeding and mulching of all earth surfaces on the dams and in the reservoir area to establish erosion protection material. If vegetation cannot resist long term erosion action, an alternate method may be required; and (5) Provide a program of periodic inspection and maintenance of the dams and appurtenances. This program must include yearly operation and lubrication of the reservoir drain system.
