Abstract

Upper Root Reservoir Dam is an earth embankment gravity data with a concrete core wall. The dam has a length of 840 ft. and a maximum hydraulic height o 39.5 feet. Based on engineering judgement and past performance of the dam and outlet works, the project is considered to be in fair condition at the present time. Because the dam is classified as small size and high hazard potential, the test flood was selected as the PMF. (Author)
