National Dam Safety Program. De Ruyter Dam (Inventory Number NY 774), Oswego River Basin, Onondaga County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report
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. The DeRuyter Dam is an earthen dam, 68 feet in height, which is used as a flow augmentation reservoir for the New York State Barge Canal. The visual inspection and screening analysis revealed deficiencies which require investigations and remedial measures. The drainage area into DeRuyter Lake is 5.62 square miles. Computations using the Corps of Engineers' screening criteria, establishes the spillway capacity as 821 cfs. This is 17 percent of the PMF. The PMF and 1/2 PMF discharges are 4,741 and 496 cfs, respectively. Approximately 73 percent of the total PMF runoff can be held in surcharge storage between the spillway crest and top of dam. The spillway has been determined 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 the dam being overtopped. Rising waters flooding residences around the lake could pick up floatable debris which would clog the stone arch spillway culvert structure causing the dam to be overtopped. Complete clogging of the high level spillway could cause the dam to be overtopped by 2-3 feet.
