of the dam and erosion control material will be required in this <br />extension. The majority of the slopes meet the 3:1 requirement <br />except for one area on the south side of the pond which measures <br />2.5:1. The material obtained from reducing the spillway crest <br />elevation could be used to correct this slope. Reducing the <br />spillway crest elevation will also correct the inadequate residual <br />freeboard at peak flow that currently exists. Some small cracks <br />were observed in the embankment during the inspection. <br />31-C -- The spillway of this pond needs to be extended 20 below the <br />toe of the dam and this extension needs to have erosion control <br />material. The side slopes on the west and the east side of this <br />pond exceed the 3:1 limit with the west side slopes being as steep <br />as 2.25:1. <br />31-D -- The tributary area for this pond is only 7 acres while the <br />minimum tributary area stated in the permit is 10 acres. Due to the <br />location of this pond, moving it down the grade to obtain the <br />minimum requirement would position it very close to Pond 31-F. <br />Therefore, this pond should be removed. <br />31-E -- The tributary area for this pond is only 7.3 acres while <br />the minimum tributary area stated in the permit is 10 acres. Due to <br />the location of this pond, moving it down the grade to obtain the <br />minimum requirement would position it very close to Pond F. <br />Therefore, this pond should be removed. <br />• 31-F -- The elevation of the spillway crest needs to be reduced by <br />1.65 feet. This change will also correct the inadequate residual <br />freeboard at peak flow that currently exists. The spillway needs to <br />be extended 20 feet below the toe of the dam and this extension <br />will require erosion control material. For the spillway <br />calculations performed, it is assumed that the spillway will be <br />widened to at least 8 feet when the spillway is modified. The <br />majority of the side slopes are well within the 3:1 requirement <br />except for the west side slopes near the spillway. The slope in <br />this area is 2.6:1. This side slope can be repaired using the <br />material obtained from the spillway modifications. <br />31-G -- The elevation of the spillway crest needs to be reduced by <br />0.25 feet. The spillway appears to be extended 20 feet below the <br />toe of the dam but this extension will require erosion control <br />material. For the spillway calculations performed, it is assume <br />that the spillway will be widened to 8 feet during the repairs. The <br />majority of the slopes meet the 3:1 requirement except for the east <br />side of the pond where the slopes are 2.44:1. This could be <br />repaired using the material from the spillway repair. <br />31-H -- The elevation of the spillway crest needs to be reduced by <br />at least 1.61 feet. The spillway needs to be extended 20 feet <br />below the toe of the dam and this extension needs to have an <br />erosion control material placed in it. All side slopes of this pond <br />. appear to meet the 3:1 requirement. However, the embankment <br />upstream slope does not meet the 2.5:1 requirement. There is one <br />
