The assessment of Brown's Lake Dam is based upon visual observations made at the time of inspection, hydraulic and hydrologic computations and past operational performance. The inspection and review of data of the Brown's Lake Dam did not reveal any problems which would require emergency action. The dam appears to be in good condition and adequately maintained. Brown's Lake Dam is a high hazard-small size dam. The spillway design flood (SDF) for a dam of this size and classification is 1/2 PMF to the PMF. the PMF has been selected as the spillway design flood based on downstream potential for loss of life. The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling the spillway design flood (PMF). Based on criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed adequate. The following recommendations and remedial measures should be instituted as soon as possible. (1) A regularly scheduled maintenance program should be developed and implemented. (2) A warning system should be developed to warn downstream residents of large spillway discharges or imminent failure of the dam. (3) A safety inspection program should be implemented with inspections at regular intervals by qualified personnel. (4) The drainline valve should be operated on a regular basis.

Based on avaliable records, visual inspection, calculations, and past operational performance, Brown's Lake Dam is judged to be in poor condition. Based on the size and hazard classification of the dam, the recommended Spillway Design Flood is the Probalble Maximum Flood (PMF). The spillway can pass about 82 percent of the PMF. Since the dam cannot pass the PMF but can pass the 1/2 PMF, the spillway capacity is rated as inadequate. Deficiencies exist that are considered to be pertinent to the stability of the dam. The deficiencies include the following: seepage, steep slopes, a depression on the top of the dam, growth of trees on the dam, and holes and a depression on the downstream slope of the dam. The type of design and methods of construction increase the concern for the deficiencies. The condition of the outlet works is unsatisfatory. There are no upstream closure facilities. Maintenance of the dam is inadequate. (Author).

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Lake Nessmuk Dam is judged to be in good condition. The existing spillway can pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping of the dam. The spillway capacity is rated as adequate. There is a slope stability analysis for the embankment, and it indicates that the embankment has adequate factors of safety. There is no evidence of problems threatening the embankment. The visual inspection (25 July 1979) revealed that it is uncertain that the gate is operational. (Author).

Lake Sophia Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 340 feet long with a maximum height of 29 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 9 feet. The upstream side of the dam is protected by a small amount of riprap and the downstream face is covered with grass. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of a concrete open-channel spillway located near the left abutment. The outlet facilities consist of a 12-inch-diamenter corrugated metal pipe extending through the embankment along the original streambed. Based on the evaluation of existing conditions, the condition of Lake Sophia Dam is considered to be unsafe/nonemergency due to seriously inadequate spillway capacity. The flood discharge capacity was evaluated according to to the recommended procedure and was found to pass approximately 15 percent of the PMF without overtopping the dam. Results of the breach analysis indicate that downstream damage would be significantly increased due to a dam failure.

The visual inspection and review of available design and construction data indicate that Longford Lake Dam is in good condition. In accordance with the guidance provided, the spillway design flood (SDF) ranges between 1/2 the PMF and the full PMF. Based on the size and extent of downstream hazard for the dam, the SDF selected for this facility was the PMF. The hydrologic and hydraulic computations indicate that the combination of reservoir storage and spillway discharge capacity will pass 88% of the PMF prior to overtopping the embankment. Therefore, in accordance with the recommended criteria for Phase I inspections, the spillway for Longford Lake Dam is considered to be inadequate.

Beechwood Lake Dam is an earthfill dam 1030 feet long and 63 feet high. The embankment is a zoned earth embankment consisting of a center impervious core section with pervious upstream and downstream zones. The principal spillway consists of a 30 inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe with a 2.5 foot x 7.5 foot reinforced concrete riser. The inspection and review of data of Beechwood Lake Dam did not reveal any problems which require emergency action. The dam appears to be stable, well maintained, safely operated and in good condition. Beechwood Lake Dam is a high hazard-intermediate size dam. The spillway design flood is the PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). The spillway and reservoir are capable of controlling the PMF. Based upon the criteria established by the Corps of Engineers, the spillway is termed adequate.

Big Brown Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 290 feet long with a maximum height of approximately 37 feet from the downstream toe, and a crest width in the range of 8 to 11 feet. The downstream slope of the dam is 1-1/2 horizontal to 1 vertical and is protected with well-established grass. The upstream slope is protected by riprap extending to the crest level of the dam. The flood discharge facilities for the dam consist of a primary spillway incorporated into the outlet facilities and an open channel emergency spillway located on the right abutment. The outlet facilities consist of a 20-inch cast-iron supply line and a 20-inch cast-iron blow-off pipe. Based on the evaluation of the existing conditions, the condition of Big Brown Dam is considered to be poor. Extensive swampy areas were observed along the toe of the dam. This condition, together with the steep downstream slope of the embankment raises concern as to the continued stability of the embankment. The flood discharge capacity of the dam was found to be at the lower limit of the recommended spillway capacity range of 50 percent to full PMF relative to the size and hazard classification of the dam.
