National Dam Safety Program. Cobleskill Upper Reservoir Dam (Inventory Number NY 656). Mohawk River Basin, Schoharie County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

This report provides information and analysis on the physical condition of the dam as of the report date. Information and analysis are based on visual inspection of the dam by the performing organization. The examination of documents and visual inspection of the Cobleskill Upper Reservoir Dam and appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute a hazard to human life or property. The discharge capacity of the spillway is inadequate for all storms in excess of 57% of the Probable Maximum Flood. During the 1/2 PMF event, the maximum water surface elevation will be 0.33 feet below the top of dam. The dam will be overtopped by 0.28 feet during the full PMF; therefore, the spillway is assessed as 'Inadequate'. (Author)
