Upper and Lower Dams consist of two dams in series designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS) for floodwater detention and waterfowl habitat enhancement. Lower Dam is the primary structure upon which this report focuses because the majority of Upper Dam becomes inundated by backwater from Lower Dam before the emergency spillways at Lower Dam are activated. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations revealed that the spillways will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping Lower Dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) equal to the PMF is required for Lower Dam. Therefore, the spillways are considered 'adequate.' The inspection revealed only one deficiency which should be corrected immediately, namely, the repair of the chipped concrete on the impact basin of Upper Dam.

PA 483 is a 74-foot high, zoned-earthfill floodwater retarding dam designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS). The dam is owned and operated by the Washington County Commissioners. The dam consists of a 360 foot long embankment, a vegetated earth side channel emergency spillway, and an intake riser and outlet conduit (principal spillway). The dam and appurtenant structures were found to be in good overall condition at the time of the inspection. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. PA 483 is a 'High' hazard, 'Intermediate' size dam requiring evaluation for a spillway design flood (SDF) equal to the PMF. Therefore, the spillway is assessed as 'adequate.' The inspection revealed certain items of remedial work which should be performed immediately by the owner.

PA 485 is a zoned earthfill embankment with a total length of 630 feet, including the emergency spillway on the left abutment. The height and crest width of the embankment are 78 feet and 14 feet, respectively. The embankment was constructed using three zones of fill material. The principal spillway is a drop-inlet structure consisting of a two stage reinforced concrete riser connected to a 30 inch diameter reinforced concrete outlet pipe. The emergency spillway for the dam is located at the left abutment. It consists of a vegetated trapezoidal channel with a bottom width of 50 feet and 2H:1V side slopes. Hydrologic/hydraulic evaluations revealed that the spillway will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) equal to the PMF is required for PA 485. The spillway is therefore considered to be 'adequate'. The visual inspection revealed several minor deficiencies which require remedial action by the owners of the dam.

This report is prepared under guidance contained in the 'Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams, ' for Phase I Investigations. The purpose of a Phase I Investigation is to identify expeditiously those dams which may pose hazards to human life or property. The assessment of the general condition of the dam is based upon available data and visual inspections. Detailed investigation, and analyses involving topographic mapping, subsurface investigations, testing, and detailed computational evaluations are beyond the scope of a Phase I Investigation; however, the investigation is intended to identify any need for such studies.

Siegel Marsh Dam was originally constructed as a 9 foot high earth embankment with a single concrete spillway 136 feet long. At a later date, the embankment was raised 1.5 feet, the spillway was raised 3.5 feet, and an additional spillway with a length of 126 feet was added. The impoundment is situated in State Game Lands No. 218 and is used for wildlife propagation. The embankment currently consists of three sections separated by two spillway structures. The spillway currently consists of two trapezoidal shaped, broad-crested concrete weirs separated by an earth embankment. A minimum flow of at least 1.71 c.f.s. out of the reservoir is maintained by a set of stop logs on the left side of the right spillway. All of the stop logs can be removed to drain the reservoir. Hydraulic/hydrologic evaluations revealed that the spillway will pass the 1/2 Probable Maximum Flood (1/2 PMF) without overtopping the dam. A spillway design flood (SDF) in the range of the 1/2 PMF to Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) is required for Siegel Marsh Dam. The 1/2 PMF was chosen as the SDF because the dam is on the low side of the 'Intermediate' size category due to the low height of the embankment. The spillways are therefore considered 'adequate'. The inspection revealed certain items of remedial work which should be performed immediately by the owner.

The general condition of the Treated Water Pond is considered to be fair. This assessment is based primarily on visual observations of embankment conditions and lack of information on the structural capacity of conduits through the embankment. The structure is classified as an 'intermediate' size, 'high' hazard dam. Corps of Engineers guidelines recommend the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) as the Spillway Design Flood for an 'intermediate' size, 'high' hazard dam. The Treated Water Pond's Spillway Design Flood is the Probable Maximum Flood. Spillway capacity is 'adequate' because the non-overtopping flood discharge was found, by using the HEC-1 computer program, to be in excess of 100 percent of the PMF. The visual inspection indicates several minor deficiencies in addition to those requiring further investigation. The deficiencies can be corrected or improved through implementation of the following recommended evaluation, remedial, monitoring and/or maintenance efforts.

The H.B. Norton Dam consists of an earthfill embankment approximately 37 feet high and 675 feet long. A 75-foot wide, concrete ogee spillway is located at the right abutment, and a 150-foot wide emergency spillway is located at the left abutment. Seepage control is provided by a steel core wall comprised of 72-inch by 96-inch by 1/4-inch steel sheets, which are riveted and welded in place. The downstream embankment rises at a slope of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (2H:1V) to the crest at elevation 1422.4 feet. The upstream slopes rise at 2.5H:1V to elevation 1412 feet and then 2H:1V to the 12-foot wide crest. The upstream face is lined with well-placed sandstone riprap, typically 1- to 2-foot square. The ogee type spillway has a crest elevation of 1415 feet, or 7 feet lower than the top of dam. Approximately 225 feet to the left of the ogee spillway is a concrete screen chamber built into the embankment. The intake consists of two pipes, a 16-inch cast-iron pipe with an invert elevation of 1400 feet and a 36-inch cast-iron pipe with an invert at elevation 1386.0 feet.
