Abstract

Ashmere Lake Dam is an earth embankment 1574 ft. long with a maximum height of 32.5 ft. A stone masonry spillway, 75 ft. long with a freeboard of 3.5 ft. is located at the east abutment. Since the dam is classified as intermediate in size with a high hazard potential, the test flood is the Probable Maximum Flood. There are a number of recommendations given in this report for implementation by the owner.
