National Dam Safety Program. Paterno Dam (Inventory Number N.Y. 101), Long Island Basin, Westchester 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 organizations. Phase I investigation of Paterno Dam did not indicate conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. Based on engineering judgment and the performance of the dam, the project appears to be fair condition. The project, however, does have inadequacies which if not remedied, have the potential for developing into hazardous conditions. Using the Corps of Engineers Screening Criteria for review of spillway adequacy, it has been determine that the spillway is adequate for half (1/2) PMF and PMF. The spillway is therefore judged to be adequate. (Author)
