The examination of documents and visual inspection of Lake Jefferson Dam and appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute a hazard to human life or property. The discharge capacity of the spillway is inadequate for all flows in excess of 50% of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). During the 1.2 PMF event the water surface will be 0.1 feet below the top of the dam and the outflow will be 15,200 cfs. The following problem areas were observed which require remedial action within 1 year of notification to the owners: (1) Repair the deteriorated portions of the spillway, spillway walls concrete core wall and capping; (2) Monitor the seepage observed at the toe of the earth embankment at bi-weekly intervals with the aid of weirs; (3) Remove the trees and brush on the slopes and abutments of the dam. Provide a program of periodic cutting and mowing; and (4) Provide a program of periodic inspection and maintenance of the dam and appurtenances, including yearly operation and lubrication of the reservoir drain system, and monitoring of the sedimentation behind the spillway. Document this information for future reference. Also develop an emergency plan. (author)
