National Dam Safety Program. Patterson Brixius Grey Creek Watershed Project, Site 2 (Inventory Number NY 725). Susquehanna River Basin, Broome County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

The dam is located on Brixius Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River, approximately 1/2 mile north of Union, NY. The examination of documents and visual inspection of the Site 2 Dam and appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute a hazard to human life or property. The discharge capacity of the spillways is adequate for the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). However the following remedial actions must be completed within 1 year from notification to the owner: (1) Eliminate the pedestrian traffic on the embankment and auxiliary spillway, backfill all depressions and reseed these areas; (2) repair the depressions on the upstream slope in the vicinity of the riser and beyond the downstream toe of the dam; (3) Remove the parking area from the auxiliary spillway channel and reseed the affected area; (4) Remove the vegetation from the inlet and outlet of the auxiliary spillway, and the downstream channel; (5) Investigate the conditions of the reservoir drain and restore to operational status, if required; (6) Repair the erosion or the Taft Road embankment and clean out the sediment within the 6 feet diameter highway culvert; and (7) provide a program of periodic inspection and maintenance of the dam and appurtenances, including yearly operation and lubrication of the reservoir drain system.
