Visual inspection of this dam did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, the dam has some deficiencies which require further engineering investigations. Structural stability analyses performed for this report indicate that the factors of safety are below recommended values for all conditions studied. Safety factors fall to critical levels when the dam is subjected to severe loading conditions (such as flood flows or ice loading). Immediately upon receipt of this notification, a system for providing around-the-clock surveillance of the dam during periods of unusually heavy precipitation should be developed. An emergency action plan for the notification of downstream residents should also be developed.
