National Dam Safety Program. Cliff Lake Dam (Inventory Number NY 584), Delaware River Basin, Sullivan 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. Information and analysis are based on visual inspection of the dam by the performing organization. The examination of documents and visual inspection of Cliff Lake Dam and appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to life or property. The dam, however, has a number of problem areas which if left uncorrected could lead to the development of potentially hazardous conditions. The discharge capacity of the spillway is inadequate for all flows in excess of 80 percent of the PMF; spillway capacity = 10,300 cfs without flashboards. Problem areas were observed which require remedial action, and this action should be completed within the next construction season.
