CM0001768 <br />Page 14 <br />For the static slope stability evaluation, under steady state seepage and rapid drawdown <br />conditions, the Rules for a Class IV small dam identify the minimum FOS to be 1.5 and 1.2, <br />respectively. The Rules identify the psuedostatic evaluation to indicate a minimum FOS of 1.0. <br />Discussion of the bedrock acceleration and other key model geotechnical input parameters used <br />to perform the static and psuedostatic slope stability evaluations are included in the Appendix D <br />`Static and Pseudo-Static Slope Stability Calculation Brief. The calculation brief also includes a <br />FOS summary table of each slope stability analysis performed. <br />Four slope stability evaluations were modeled on two cross sections. The first cross section <br />represented the Dam on a level grade, and the second included the borrow area cuts on each side <br />of the Dam. For each slope and each side of the Dam, static. and pseudo-static slope stability <br />evaluations were performed to evaluate steady state flow and rapid drawdown conditions. All <br />slope stability analyses performed indicate that the Dam's slopes would provide an acceptable <br />FOS to meet Class IV small dam stability under the most critical rapid drawdown with <br />earthquake loading conditions. <br />4.11 Pipe Conveyance System <br />As shown on Figure 6, the conveyance pipe system consists of a 24 inch diameter high density <br />polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, epoxy-coated cast iron butterfly valves, anti-seep collar, concrete <br />headwalls and fiberglass/steel walkways. The conveyance pipe was' added to allow the <br />controlled transfer of water through the Dam between Robinson Lake and the Seepwater Pond. <br />The design parameters and details evaluations for specifying the conveyance pipe, concrete <br />headwall and associated appurtenances are contained in `Conveyance Pipe System Design'; <br />Conveyance Pipe Headwall Design'; and `Walkway Support and Connection Design' calculation <br />briefs provided in Appendix E'. Table 4 identifies the conveyance pipe discharge apron material <br />quantity required as calculated in the `Summary of Construction Materials Calculation Brief <br />provided in Appendix E. <br />4.12 Spillway Design <br />1J <br />As shown on Figure 6, the spillway consists of a 50 feet wide by three feet deep rectangular <br />concrete channel constructed on the Dam crest and 50 feet wide by 3 feet deep riprap-lined <br />channel constructed down each face of the Dam. The spillway was included to allow an <br />c:Vly..Nyp-wi.-,.-Id-X6104.p2dnc 17/03196 _ <br />a = <br />v . _ ? . Environmenta
