National Dam Safety Program. Lakeside Dam (Inventory Number VA 06920), Potomac River Basin, Frederick County, Virginia. Phase I Inspection Report

摘要

The Lakeside Dam is an earthen embankment about 428 feet long and 14.1 feet high. The dam is owned and maintained by the DANAC Real Estate Investment Corporation and the Metropolitan Federal Service Corporation. The dam is classified as a small dam with a significant hazard classification. The spillway is a riprap lined earthen side channel spillway located at the right abutment. This reservoir is used for recreation. Based on criteria established by the department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE), the Spillway Design Flood (SDF) is the 100 Year Flood. The spillway will satisfactorily pass the 100 Year Flood and will also pass 100 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping the dam. Therefore the spillway is adjudged as adequate. The visual inspection revealed no problems or remedial measures in need of immediate attention. There is no regular maintenance operation program or warning system, and it is recommended that a maintenance program and a warning system be established. The maintenance items listed in Section 7.2 should be accomplished as a part of the regular maintenance program within the next 12 months. (Author)
