National Dam Safety Program. Stump Pond Dam (Inventory Number N.Y. 746), Susquehanna River Basin, Cortland County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,
Abstract
Visual inspection of this dam and engineering analyses revealed that the poor condition of the dam creates a hazard to human life and property. As a result of these determinations, the dam has been assessed as unsafe, non-emergency. One of the spillway sections has failed completely, creating a large void in the dam. The other spillway channel is in poor condition, having cracks in the concrete and several small voids. The earth fill upstream of the dam completely blocks the failed spillway section and partially blocks the other section. Due to the serious nature of the deficiencies, it is recommended that within 30 days of the notification to the owner that the dam has been assessed as unsafe, repair work on the structural deficiencies should be commenced. These repairs should be completed within 3 months. Within 3 months of the notification of the owner, a detailed hydrologic/hydraulic investigation should be commenced. This investigation should accurately define the site specific characteristics of the watershed and determine appropriate mitigating measures to be taken in response to the seriously inadequate spillway capacity. These measures should be completed within 1 year of the date of notification.
