National Dam Safety Program. Lake Lincolndale Dam (Inventory Number N.Y. 102), Lower Hudson River Basin, Westchester County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

The examination of documents and the visual inspection findings of Lake Lincolndale Dam and its appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life and property. However, the dam has some deficiencies which require further investigations and remedial action. It has been determined that the concrete sill structure is inadequate for all floods in excess of 31 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Overtopping of the dam could cause breaching of the embankment which would significantly increase the hazard to loss of life and property. The spillway is therefore judged to be 'seriously inadequate ' and the dam is assessed as unsafe.
