National Dam Safety Program. Kahle Lake Dam (NDI Number PA-00825, Penn DER Number 61-20), Ohio River Basin, Mill Creek, Venango County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Kahle Lake Dam is a zoned, earthfill embankment with a maximum height of 45 feet and a total length between abutments of 1300 feet. The embankment has a crest width of 19 feet and side slopes of 3H:1V (Horizontal to Vertical) upstream and 2.5H:1V downstream. The upper 10 feet of the upstream slope is provided with 18 inch thick riprap for wave and ice protection. The auxiliary spillway, located in the left abutment, consists of a concrete weir, a concrete chute, and a stilling basin. The weir has an overall length of 81 feet with the crest elevation 6 feet below the top of dam. Flow over the weir discharges into a reinforced concrete chute. The chute width varies from 81 feet at the weir to 60 feet at the stilling basin. The bottom of the chute has a slope of 5H:1V and an overall length of 144.33 feet. Reinforced concrete training walls are provided from the weir to the end of the stilling basin.
