Abstract
Beechwood Lake Dam is an earthfill dam 1030 feet long and 63 feet high. The embankment is a zoned earth embankment consisting of a center impervious core section with pervious upstream and downstream zones. The principal spillway consists of a 30 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe with a 2.5 foot x 7.5 foot reinforced concrete riser. The inspection and review of data of Beechwood Lake Dam did not reveal any problems which require emergency action. The dam appears to be stable, well maintained, safely operated and in good condition. Beechwood Lake Dam is a high hazard-intermediate size dam. The spillway design flood is the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling the PMF. Based upon the criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed adequate.
