National Dam Inspection Program. Bellwood Dam, (NDI I.D. Number PA-00524, Pennder I.D. Number 7-3) Susquehanna River Basin, Bells Gap Run, Blair County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Bellwood Dam is an earth and rockfill embankment approximately 1300 feet in length, including spillway, with a measured height of 61 feet and a top width of about 20 feet. Both the upstream and downstream face are protected by stone fill. The embankment contains a cut-off trench and concrete cut-off wall keyed into rock along the entire length. In addition, grouting was conducted along 3-foot centers below the cut-off wall. The facility is served by a concrete chute spillway with an ogee-shaped weir and a crest length of 100 feet located at the right abutment. In addition, the facility is equipped with a 36-inch diameter cast iron pipe blowoff line and a 16-inch diameter cast iron pipe supply line, both controlled by gate valves housed in a masonry structure at the downstream toe of the embankment. A 6-inch diameter line off the supply line provides a continuous flow for downstream requirements.
