National Dam Safety Program. Jaqui Dam (NJ 00357) Passaic River Basin, North Branch, Whippany River, Morris County. New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Jaqui Dam, a high hazard potential structure, is judged to be in good overall condition. The dam's spillway is considered inadequate because a flow equivalent to 31 percent of the Spillway Design Flood - SDF - would cause the dam to be overtopped. (The SDF, in this instances, is one half of the Probable Maximum Flood.) The decision to consider the spillway 'inadequate' instead of 'seriously inadequate' is based on the determination that dam failure from overtopping would not significantly increase the hazard to loss of life downstream from the dam from that which would exist just before overtopping failure.
