National Dam Safety Program. No Name 548 Pfizer Inc. Dam (MO 30705), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Washington County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

This report presents the results of field inspection and evaluation of the Pfizer Inc. Dam. It was prepared under the National Program of Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. This dam has been classified as unsafe, non-emergency by the St. Louis District as a result of: the spillway can only pass 9 percent of the PMF without significant erosion of the spillway or embankment; erosion of the open channel spillway through the embankment near the left abutment is taking place in the upstream direction and is encroaching on the toe of the dam; and excessively steep downstream slope.
