Abstract
The following repair items should be accomplished as part of the general maintenance of the dam: (1) the branches, logs, tree stumps, and garbage on the downstream slope should be removed. (2) All trees on the downstream slope should be cut off at ground level. All trees with a trunk diameter greater than 3 inches should also have their root systems removed. The resultant holes should be backfilled with compacted fill. (3) The hole in the downstream slope above the left spillway should be filled and compacted; the area of sloughing immediately above the hole should be regraded and compacted. (4) All areas of erosion should be regraded and compacted. (5) A good grass cover should be established over the entire embankment. (6) The leakage from under the right-hand pipe of the left spillway culvert should be stopped. (7) The concrete slabs at the downstream end of the left spillway culvert and under the 24 inch corrugated metal pipe which discharges directly downstream of the culvert should be repaired. (Author)
