Cornwall Upper Reservoir Dam, located on an unnamed tributary of Moodna Creek, is 2 miles south of Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, New York. The dam and reservoir are used for water supply. The visual inspection revealed several deficiencies in this structure. The following items were noted: The left spillway training wall and the adjacent crest elevation are 0.9 feet below the average crest of the dam; Superintendent Ralph Smith reported seepage near a large tree (24-inch diameter) on the downstream face near the left abutment of the dam. Some seepage was observed in this area, but the source could not be determined; Four small local depressions along the crest of the dam; Trees are located in the discharge channel immediately downstream from the spillway; On the downstream slope, there are four or five tree trunks with diameters 4 to 8 inches. On the downstream slope there are a large number of trees below the road; The masonry portion of th left spillway wall has collapsed for approximately 3 feet long at the crest of the spillway weir; A large number of rodent holes are scattered on the downstream face of the dam; and There is a small eroded area on the downstream face of the dam near the left abutment.
