National Dam Safety Program. Oquaga Creek State Park Dam (Inventory Number N.Y. 783) Delaware River Basin, Broome 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 the Oquaga Creek State Park Dam did not reveal conditions which constitute a hazard to human life or property. The hydrologic/hydraulic analyses performed indicate that the outflows from the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) will result in the dam being overtopped. The outflows from one-half the PMF will not result in the dam being overtopped. Therefore, the spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. The deficiencies noted on this structure were of a minor nature. One action which should be taken is to extend the collector pipe of the interceptor drain beneath the auxiliary spillway. In addition, an emergency action plan for notification of downstream residents should be developed for this structure. These actions should be taken within 6 months of the date of notification of the owner. (Author)
