Abstract

Gallo Dam is a 29-foot high earth embankment approximately 690 feet long (including spillway). The embankment is reportedly comprised of 3 sections which include an impervious core, a semi-pervious upstream section and a pervious downstream section. The facility is served by a chute channel spillway, with discharges controlled by a free overfall, concrete weir structure. The spillway is located near the right abutment, and has a crest length of 39 feet. In addition, the facility is equipped with a 18-inch diameter steel pipe encased in concrete used as a low level outlet as well as a 16-inch diameter steel siphon which was installed in 1973.
