following main components: - Provide a slide gate on the existing intake structure. - Extend hydraulic control lines and an air vent from the intake structure to a gate operator in the existing valve house. - Remove existing valve internal components Purpose and Need The primary objective of this project is to address SEO concerns and make repairs as necessary to ensure the safety of the dam and outlet works. The project will allow for full use of the reservoir's storage capacity. Repairs need to be made to avoid SEO restrictions. The cost of this project is prohibitive to the Pisgah Reservoir and Ditch Company. A CWCB grant/loan combination will allow the project to move forward in a timely manner. Facilities • The dam is currently classified as a large size, significant hazard dam and will remain this classification. • Outlet drawdown capacity will meet current operational criteria and SEO minimum drawdown criteria for a high hazard dam. • A single upstream hydraulically operated gate will be used for both flow control and SEO drawdown requirements. • Electrical power, 220 volt - single phase, is currently available to the existing valve house and will remain available for operation of the hydraulic system for the new control gate. • The existing valve house will be removed and replaced with a new structure that will be in the same location. • The existing concrete foundation and walkway will be used for the new valve house structure. • The existing concrete intake structure will not be removed and replaced but will be modified to the extent necessary to accommodate the proposed improvements.
