National Dam Inspection Program. Galion Bay Dam (NDI ID Number PA-747, DER ID Number 17-107), Ohio River Basin, Gravel Lick, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Galion Bay Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 400 feet long with a maximum height of 37 feet from the downstream invert of the outlet conduit and a crest width of 20 feet. Galion Bay Dam is one of the three dams which impound Lake Rene. The other two dams are Wolf Creek Dam, located at the west end of Lake Rene, and Lake Rene Dam, located on the east side of the reservoir. Lake Rene Dam, which was constructed in 1955, was the original dam at the site. Galion Bay Dam and Wolf Creek Dam were constructed in 1971 in conjunction with the enlargement of Lake Rene. The flood discharge facilities for Lake Rene consist of primary and emergency spillways associated with Galion Bay and Wolf Creek dams. The Galion Bay Dam flood discharge facilities are comprised of a drop inlet primary spillway located at the center of the embankment and an emergency spillway on the right abutment (looking downstream). The primary spillway structure consists of a single-stage reinforced concrete riser, a 36-inch-diameter reinforced concrete conduit, and a plunge pool at the downstream end of the outlet pipe. The emergency spillway is a 30-foot-wide trapezoidal earth channel excavated into the right abutment. The reservoir outlet pipe for the dam consists of a 15-inch steel pipe extending from the upstream toe of the dam to the drop inlet structure.
