National Dam Safety Program. Lower Fulton Dam (Granby)(Inventory Number NY406). Oswego River Basin, Oswego County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

Examination of available documents and a visual inspection of the dam did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, additional studies should be undertaken to further evaluate conditions affecting the dam. Additional structural investigations should be initiated and completed within one year concerning the stability and through-the-dam seepage. The remaining deficiencies requiring remedial work should be completed within the next construction season. The following improvement needs have been identified: (1) Repair the spillway slab and verify the structural integrity of the spillway section. (2) Investigate the interior of the dam to evaluate the condition of the old masonry dam, to refine the stability analysis and to evaluate the severity of through-the-dam seepage. (3) Repair the abutment walls which are severly eroded at the water line. (4) Repair the mechanical equipment which operates the sluice gates. (5) Investigate the structural integrity and repair the lock walls, particularly where the walls are attached to or adjacent to the spillway or where a hazard potential related to loss of life or property is presented.
