National Dam Safety Program. Finch Hollow Watershed Project Site 2 (Inventory Number 719) Susquehanna 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 Finch Hollow Site 2 Dam did not reveal conditions which constitute a hazard to human life or property. The total discharge capacity of the spillways is adequate to impound and safely discharge the floodwaters resulting from the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Several minor deficiencies were noted on this structure. Among these deficiencies were a small depression on the upstream slope near the riser, ponding of water in the bottom of the auxiliary spillway channel, and a substantial accumulation of debris around the intake of the principal spillway riser. These deficiencies should be corrected within 6 months of the date of notification of the owner. In addition, an emergency action plan for notification of downstream residents should be developed within 6 months. (Author)
