Other No <br />Structural: <br />Differential Settling No <br />Cracks or Slides Yes Cracks approximately 1/L-inch wide had again developed <br /> along the crest of the downstream face from the primary <br /> spillway to the north abutment; and at a distance of 2-3 <br /> feet down the slope, parallel to the crest, from 12 feet to <br /> 27 feet from the primary spillway, then sloping up the face <br /> to the crest at 29 feet from the primary spillway. These <br /> cracks appear to be desiccation or shrinkage cracks as are <br /> common to much of the surrounding areas, and appear to <br /> be the same crack system observed in the 1993 4th <br /> quarterly inspection. The cracks were filled in and tamped, <br /> and stakes driven at the extremities to monitor future <br /> activity. The cracks observed (and repaired) in 1993 on <br /> the upstream slope were nut present in 1994. No <br /> slumping, sliding or displacement was noticed. <br />Seepage No <br />Other No <br />Appurtenant Structures <br />Defective Spillways No. A A blind had been constructed of riprap from the <br /> deficiency emergency spillway, overlooking the pond. This blind was <br /> was taken down and riprap returned to the emergency spillway <br /> corrected lining. <br /> during the <br /> inspection. <br />Dewatering Device No <br />Clogged <br />Faulty Gates, Baffles, No <br />Pumps <br />Other No <br />Additional Comments: None <br />Maintenance Required: <br />None. <br />Recommendations: <br />Monitor desiccation cracks and vegetation recovery. Include these topics as items of special interest in <br />quarterly inspections reports. Stakes were placed to assist in monitoring the system of cracks on the <br />downstream face of the dam. If the cracks reopen, recommend they be filled with soil cement slurry.
