Document Description
The proposed Project would excavate a portion of the existing dam to create a sillway to pass water and prevent dam failure in the ecent the pond reaches maximum capacity. The spillway would measure approximately 85 feet long and 5 feet wide. The sides of the spillway would slope at an angle of approximately 5:1 (horizontal:vertical). Geotextile fabric would be placed on the excavated area and small rock slope protection (RSP) would be placed in the bottom of the spillway to protect the site from scour during high flows.Decomposed granite would be placed over the RSP to provide a smooth surface allowing vehicles to drive over the face of the dam and spillway. Approximately 4,400 square feet of the dam would be impacted by the Project. Additionally, riparian vegetation would be planted along the dam face to establish and maintain permanent riparian habitat.
