Abstract
The Moore Dam is an earthfill stucture about 400 feet long and 22.7 feet high with a private roadway traversing the dam. The dam is classified as small size with a significant hazard classification. The principal spillway is a 24-inch corrugated metal pipe drop-inlet that connects to a 15-inch corrugated metal pipe which passes through the dam at low level. The emergency spillway is an open channel cut at the left abutment. The reservoir is used for recreation and irrigation by the owner. Based on criteria established by the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE), the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) is the 100 year flood. The spillways will pass 24 percent of the PMF or 100 percent of the SDF without overtopping the crest of the dam. The spillway is adjudged as adquate.
