National Dam Safety Program. Windover Dam (I.D. Number NY 150, DEC Number 186-1322) Upper Hudson River Basin, Warren County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Windover dam consists of 2 earth embankments abutting a 140 feet long concrete capped masonry spillway, the maximum height of which is 15 feet. The left embankment is 75 feet long and the right embankment is 125 feet long. The crest width is 5 feet. The upstream slope is 1 vertical on 3 horizontal and the downstream slope is 1 and 2. A reservoir drain is located near the left end of the spillway. The examination of documents and the visual inspection of Windover Dam did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, the dam has some deficiencies which require further investigation and remedial action. Using the Corps of Engineers 'screening criteria' for the initial review of spillway adequacy, it has been determined that the embankment would be overtopped for all storms in excess of 37% of the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). The spillway is, therefore, adjudged as 'seriously inadequate' and the dam is assessed as unsafe, non-emergency.
