National Dam Safety Program. Cobleskill Upper Reservoir Dam Number 1 (Inventory Number N. Y. 656), Mohawk River Basin, Schoharie County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
The dam is located on Smith Brook, a tributary of Cobleskill Creek and Mohawk River approximately 2.0 miles southeast of Cobleskill, New York. The dam provides storage for the Cobleskill water supply. The problem areas observed during the inspection and the recommended remedial measures are as follows: Joints in the concrete spillway are full of debris and vegetation is growing in them. They must be cleaned out and recaulked; There are voids under the rip rapped spillway channel. This problem must be investigated further to determine the extent of undermining and backfilled or regrouted; Both the embankment and channel have tree and brush growth which must be removed. Provide a program of periodic cutting and mowing of the embankment and areas adjacent to the spillway; Provide a program of periodic inspection and maintenance of the dam and appurtenances including yearly operation and lubrication of all gates and valves. Document this information for future reference; and Develop an emergency action plan for notification of downstream residents and the proper governmental authorities.
