National Dam Inspection Program. Glendale Dam,(NDI ID Number 912). Susquehanna Basin, Beaver Dam Run, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
The Glendale Dam consists of an earth embankment approximately 1800 feet long with a maximum height of 60 feet from the downstream toe and a crest width of 25 feet. The combined primary and emergency spillway for the reservoir is located on the right abutment (looking downstream). A 60-foot-wide concrete ogee section at a level 8-1/2 feet above the normal pool level and 10-1/2 feet below the dam crest level constitutes the emergency spillway for the dam. The primary spillway for the reservoir consists of four ungated orifices located through the concrete ogee section of the emergency spillway. The two-foot-high by five-foot, five-inch-wide orifices are at a level 19.7 feet below the crest of the dam. The orifice entrances are flared and protected with steel trash racks. A floating timber crash boom prevents the large pieces of debris from reaching the sluices. The spillways discharge into a 40-foot-wide, 224-foot-long concrete chute section which terminates at a stilling basin at the toe of the dam. The stilling basin is equipped with energy dissipator blocks.
