Hartwell Lake Project, Savannah River, Georgia and South Carolina. Rehabilitation of Clemson Upper Diversion Dam. Construction Foundation Report. Volume 1. Text, Plates, and Appendix A
The Clemson Upper Diversion Dam had experienced downstream seepage problems since shortly after construction in 1961. Several repairs were attempted from 1963 until 1977. By 1981 it became apparent that some type of positive cutoff solution was needed. Many types of repair methods were considered before a cutoff wall was selected as the type of remedial method. The report covers foundation investigations prior to wall construction and site geology. Construction procedures for the cutoff wall are described in detail. A downstream drainage system was also constructed and this is described in the report. Many piezometers were relocated during construction and piezometric surfaces at the dam were mapped before and after cutoff wall construction. The report contains several maps and cross sections illustrating piezometric data. Site restoration and possible future problems are also described. (sdw)
