National Dam Safety Program. Court Street Dam (Inventory Number NY 6843), Monroe County, New York
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 the visual inspection of the Court Street Dam did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, the dam has some deficiencies which require remedial action. Under the conditions of flow exceeding approximately 25 percent of the PMF the capacity of the river channel itself will be exceeded. Therefore, the spillway is judged inadequate but with the understanding that this is not critical in view of the fact that the river channel will not pass the one-half PMF event without overtopping either. Hence, the hazard downstream is not significantly increased. No stability analyses (either overturning or sliding) were deemed appropriate for the Court Street Dam since it is embedded into the underlying bedrock and the gates are below the channel bottom when open. Therefore, there are no sliding or overturning forces acting. The dam has a number of problem areas which, if left uncorrected, have the potential for the development of hazardous conditions and must be corrected within one year.
