National Dam Inspection Program. Potic Reservoir Dam (NY 00307), Lower Hudson River Basin, Town of Coxsackie, Greene County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
The dam is located on Cob Creek about 9 miles north of the Village of Catskill. The dam was originally constructed to impound water for use as a public water supply for the Village of Catskill. The impoundment is still used for this purpose. The trees and brush and their root systems on the downstream and upstream slopes should be removed. The miscellaneous fill on the downstream slope at the highest point of the dam obscures the condition of the dam in this critical zone. An investigation should be made to determine how to treat this zone of the dam. Selected seeps that exit downstream from the toe, and the seep along the right of the diversion conduit should be monitored and the data evaluated periodically. Repairs should be made to the riprap where it has heaved and the animal holes, although minor, should be filled. The reservoir gauge near the spillway should be grouted with a slightly-expanding grout or other impervious material to avoid the possibility of the reservoir pressure acting within the core from this cause.
