National Dam Safety Program. Lookover Lake Dam (NJ00565), Hudson River Basin, Longhouse Brook, Passaic, County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Based on visual observations made during the inspections, information provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and conversations with the Owners, Lookover Lake Dam is considered to be in poor overall condition. The dam is an earth embankment approximately 150 feet long with a maximum height of about 10 feet. The top width of the dam is approximately 20 feet and the upstream and downstream slopes appear to be relatively flat. The spillway section has a crest length of 7.2 feet and provides one foot of freeboard between the spillway crest and the top of the dam. Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses indicates that the spillway is capable of discharging approximately 7 percent of the SDF prior to overtopping of the embankment.
