Abstract

It is an earthfill structure with a concrete core that is about 1390 ft. long having a maximum height of 60 ft. The dam is fair condition, there being several motorbike trails and footpaths on the downstream slope. It is intermediate in size and has a hazard potential of high. Failure of the dam would inundate the baseball field and recreational area immediately below the dam and would pass through a thickly settled residential area. Additional investigations or major modifications are not required.
