assumption "B" storm flow to MB-1. This ditch keeps all nuisance flows from entering and <br />combining with the raw water stored in the fresh water pond. A spillway section has been designed <br />to pass many overland flows that may overtop this ditch and enter the pond. <br />Spillway Designs <br />Spillways have been sized using the broad crested weir equation, Q = CLF~ 5 A coefficient "C", of <br />2.67 was assumed as this is the low end of the practical range. Spillways are constructed of riprap <br />or gabions. The design head for each spillway has been limited to 2.50 $. Freshwater Pond-1 has a <br />service spillway to ensure that small inadvertent flows entering the ponds aze passed without <br />relying on the emergency spillway. The individual plan sets in Exhibit 43, Exhibit 47, and Exhibit <br />66 includes all pertinent hydrologic and spillway data. <br />Stability Program Description <br />The stability analysis for the dams was performed using a slope stability computer program <br />(SLOPE In developed by Geo Slope Programming, Ltd., Regina, Saskatchewan. The Ordinary <br />(Fellenius) Method and the Simplified Bishop Methods were used to compute stability factors of <br />safety for each embanlanent's maximum cross section. <br />Both methodologies use the method of slices and utilize the limit equilibrium theory to solve the <br />factor of safety. The principal difference between the two methods is the treatment of interslice <br />forces. The Ordinary Method assumes that interslice forces can be ignored,while the Simplified <br />Bishop Method assumes that the interslice forces act horizontally. Merrick and Company's results <br />indicated that the Ordinary Method yielded lower factors of safety in all cases. Consequently, for all <br />subsequent trials on the given dam, only the Ordinary Method was used. <br />The computer program deternunes the factor of safety for slip circles of varying radii about <br />specified points but does not automatically converge on the minimum factor of safety. In order to <br />minimize cost, a coarse grid was initially established. The grid was then successively refined to <br />converge on the minimum factor of safety. Inmost cases three to five interactions were required. <br />Stability analysis for SG-1 was performed using a slope stability computer program entitled <br />XSTABL5.105. The program utilizes Bishops and/or Janbus method for circulaz or non-circulaz <br />failure. <br />2.05-34 Revised Jan 7996 RN03; 12evised Nw. J996 PR07; Revised Jan. 7997 TR79; RevrsedJun.
