This report provides information and analysis on the physical condition of the dam as of the report date. Information and analysis are based on visual inspection of the dam by the performing organization. The examination of documents and visual inspection of the Site 19 dam and appurtenant structures did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. The dam, however, has a number of problem areas, which if not remedied, have the potential for developing into hazardous conditions. These problem areas are as follows: 1. Seepage encountered at the toe of the downstream slope near the left (north) abutment contact; 2. Erosion at the left abutment contact of the downstream face caused by runoff from the very steep abutment slope; 3. Incomplete structural stability investigations which did not include seismic and the observed seepage forces.
