Abstract

Scitico Dam is a run-of-the-river composite structure about 76 feet long and 22 feet high. The dam consists of a block masonry structure about 15 feet high capped with a rockfilled timber crib structure. The dam appears to be in fair condition. Scitico Dam has a maximum storage capacity of about 51 acre-feet and a maximum height of about 22 feet. Therefore, the dam is classified in the 'Small' size category. The recommended range for the test flood for a 'Small' size, 'High' hazard dam is from 1/2 of the PMF to the full PMF. (Author)
