National Dam Inspection Program. Wheatley Dam (Gilbert Run Watershed-Site Number 2) (NDI ID Number MD-60), Potomac River Basin, Gilbert Run, Charles County, Maryland. Phase I Inspection Report
Wheatley Dam was constructed as a zoned earthfill structure. The embankment contains a thin inclined impervious core constructed of compacted silty clay material. The dam is approximately 1,000 ft. long and has a maximum toe to crest height of 39 ft. Upstream and downstream embankment slopes have inclinations of 3H:1V and 2.5H:1V, respectively. A riprap layer for wave protection has been placed on the upstream slope at normal pool level from E1. 92.5 to E1. 98.0 (3 ft. above normal pool level). Seepage control provisions include a cutoff trench and a seepage drain, respectively located 24 ft. upstream and 58 ft. downstream of the dam centerline. Both cutoff trench and seepage drain run the entire length of the dam. Three (3) blanket drains and two (2) perforated corrugated metal pipes discharge seepage collected by the seepage drain at the downstream embankment toe.
