National Dam Inspection Program. Lake Whetstone (NDI ID Number MD-53), Potomac River Basin, Whetstone Run, Montgomery County, Maryland. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

Based on the visual inspection, available records, past operational performance, and in accordance with the guideline criteria established for these studies, Lake Whetstone is judged to be in good condition. The water level in Lake Whetstone is normally maintained at elevation 362 by way of a rectangular concrete drop inlet spillway. Sources of inflow to the lake include Whetstone Run inflow, storm drainage, surface water runoff, and rainfall on the lake surface. No stability problems were evident for the embankment at the time of the visual inspection. (Author)
