National Dam Inspection Program. Baggaley Dam. (NDI Number PA-00454, PennDER Number-65-10) Ohio River Basin, Indian Camp Run, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Phase I Inspection Report
Based on review of available design information and visual observations of conditions as they existed on the date of the field inspections, the general condition of Baggaley Dam is considered to be poor. The poor assessment is based on the inability to closely observe the downstream slopes, potential stability problems of the abutments and the condition of the principal spillway. The structure is classified as a 'small' size, 'high' hazard dam. Corps of Engineer guidelines recommend 1/2 to one times the Probable Maximum Flood for 'small' size 'high' hazrad dams. Baggaley Dam's Spillway Design Flood is 1/2 the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). Spillway capacity is 'inadequate' because the non-overtopping flood discharge capacity, as estimated using the HEC-1 computer program, was found to be 10 percent of the PMF. The spillway is not 'seriously inadequate' because failure of the structure would not significntly increase the flood stage and risk of loss of life downstream.
