National Dam Safety Program. Upper Fulton Dam (Inventory Number NY 408). Oswego River Basin, Oswego County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report

摘要

This report provides information and analysis on the physical condition of the dam as of the report date. Information and analysis are based on visual inspection of the dam by the performing organization. Examination of available documents and a visual inspection of the dam did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, additional studies should be undertaken to further evaluate conditions affecting the dam. Computations prepared according to the Corps of Engineers' Screening Criteria establish the spillway capacity of 50,000 cfs at 61% of the PMF, with PMF and 1/2 PMF flows at 81,900 cfs and 46,800 cfs respectively. The spillway has been determined to be inadequate to pass the PMF. However, the spillway is not considered seriously inadequate, based on the Corps of Engineers' Screening criteria, since the dam is capable of passing the 1/2 PMF without being overtopped.
