National Dam Safety Program. Lakeland Dam (Inventory Number VA 03111), James River Basin, Campbell County, Virginia. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The Lakeland Dam is an earthfill structure approximately 550 feet long and 26.6 feet high. The dam is owned and maintained by the Lakeland Homeowners Association. The dam is classified as a small dam with a significant hazard classification. The principal spillway is an 18-inch corrugated metal pipe drop-inlet that passes at low level through the dam. The emergency spillway is an open channel earthen spillway located at the right abutment. The reservoir is used for recreation. Based on criteria established by the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE), the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) is the 1/2 PMF. The emergency spillway will pass the SDF without overtopping the dam. Therefore, the emergency spillway is adjudged as adequate. The visual inspection revealed no apparent problems and there are no immediate needs for remedial measures. Maintenance is performed by the owners. However, there is no regular maintenance operations plan or warning system. It is recommended that the services of a qualified geotechnical engineering firm be engaged to perform a stability check of the dam. This should be completed within 12 months. It is also recommended that a regular maintenance and operations program be instituted with provisions for accurate records of all maintenance performed, and that a warning system be established.
