Fool Hollow Spillway Rehabilitation Project
The Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area is located in Show Low, Arizona, in the White Mountains about 174 miles Northeast of Phoenix. The dam is owned and operated by the Arizona Game & Fish Department (AGFD). The original earthen dam and reinforced concrete spillway were completed in 1956 with the purpose of impounding a reservoir to provide recreational fishing and habitat for wildlife. The Fool Hollow reservoir has a 6,907,538 cubic meter (5600 acre-ft) storage capacity to the top of the dam and a 3,947,165 cubic meter (3200 acre-ft) storage capacity to the top of the spillway crest. The dam's spillway is detached from the dam and discharges into Bagnal Draw and then to Show Low Creek. The spillway has a reinforced concrete spillway 30.49 meters (100 feet) wide with an approach channel that is 97.56 meters (320 feet) in length. This paper summarizes and discusses the physical deterioration of the site since it was constructed, the need for a rehabilitation project, and the process that the project team used to plan and design a solution. The status of the project site near a recreation area and near habitat for endangered species mandated a careful planning and design process, one with the involvement and sanction of the USDA Forest Service (USFS) and other state and federal agencies.
