Abstract

The dam is an earth embankment dam with a clay core. It is about 400 ft. long and 21 ft. high. The dam is small in size with a significant hazard potential. The dam is judged to be in good condition. There were a few significant findings which should be corrected. Among remedial measures are: Remove brush and beaver dams from the emergency spillway: Round the clock monitoring should be provided during periods of unusually heavy rain. (Author)
