February 20, 2018 Joe Behlen, Dam Safety Engineer Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Wisconsin Rapids Service Center 473 Griffith Avenue Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494 Bob Berry, Chairman Friendship Lake District 404 Hillwood Lane Friendship, WI 53934 Re: Friendship Dam inspection, FF 1.01, KSN 00062 Dear Mr. Behlen: Ayres Associates was retained by Friendship Lake District to conduct an inspection of Friendship Dam (FF 1.01) on February 13, 2016. A follow-up embankment survey was completed on February 16, 2013, following a snowmelt. We have attached the original inspection report as well as a compact disk with photographs and the scanned inspection report. The dam in in fair condition, and we recommend maintenance as noted below. Action Reason Deadline Add two benchmarks on the dam that are correlated to the original project datum and to the current Flood Insurance Study Datum.
The only benchmark found on the site was the STH 13 bridge BM. This was also the only BM found during the last ORIP.
December 31, 2019
Replace the staff gauge with a legible one.
Staff gauge is illegible. December 31, 2019
Install OSHA-approved fence along the 16 ft high tailrace walls to prevent public from walking off top of wall
Fall height greater than 6 feet and public is able to access this area on both sides
December 31, 2018
Investigate flows and provide new flow capacity because the dam cannot pass the Q500 or Q1000 floods. The estimated hazard rating is Significant but could be High due to cabins in the floodplain.
FIS Q100 is 1335 cfs below the dam. Ratioing the FIS flows at CTHZ to STH13 yields an estimate of 2033 cfs for the Q500 and 2610 cfs for the Q1000 at the dam. Capacity is currently only 1522 cfs.
December 31, 2018
Add riprap to design pool (top of embankment) and make upstream slopes stable for riprap
Riprap does not extend to top of beaching areas of upstream embankment.
December 31, 2019
Monitor embankment movement, ideally by installing one survey pin in each of the two movement areas
Powerpole (abt 15 deg lean) and bridge abutment (2.5 inches of displacement) indicate bank movement
December 31, 2018 and thereafter during ORIPs

3433 Oakwood Hills Parkway ● Eau Claire, WI 54701-7698 ● 800.666.3103 ● www.AyresAssociates.com
Raise low areas of embankment to design pool
Embankment has low area near sheetpile and near leaning power pole
December 31, 2019
Regularly monitor for rodents and burrows
Dams with design pools at the embankment crest are very susceptible to piping via burrows
At least monthly May to Sept, every year
Regularly monitor toe seepage for sediment passage and changes in color or clarity
Toe ditch below STH13 was seeping with iridescence (biological indication) in winter. More expected in spring/summer.
At least monthly May to Sept, every year
Repair deteriorated concrete areas (upstream and downstream faces of dam)
Some areas deteriorated to 12 inches deep. Section loss may be severe enough to lower strength.
December 31, 2019
Paint gate and check chain strength
Chains rusted and gate is unpainted on upstream face. Gate and chain will quickly rust through if not painted.
December 31, 2019
Deice the gate arms and make ready for spring flood passage
Only one gate (no redundancy) so high risk of gate inoperability
April 15, 2018 and annually thereafter
Investigate provision of operator for lake drain
Dam lacks flow capacity and lake drain could add 10% flow capacity but lacks dedicated hoist
December 31, 2018
Remove jam from wicket gates and provide lubrication to unit
Turbine should not free spin without generator load
December 31, 2018
Replace trashrack 70% section loss in lower third December 31, 2019Monitor crack in NE wall of powerhouse superstructure, ideally with an Avongard gauge
Large crack in brick façade, could indicate water freezing within wall or foundation movement
December 31, 2018 and annually thereafter
Check roof for leakage Stains on interior of walls appear to be from rain entry
December 31, 2018
Investigate further the need top tuck point brick
Inspector could not see all brick but several areas appear to need tuck pointing
December 31, 2018
Fix broken doors and windows Secure building against animal and human entry
December 31, 2019
Clean trash rack Rack is plugged with debris, creating 24 inch differential which is too much for rack to handle
At least monthly May to Sept, every year
Investigate electrical compliance Inspector is not an electrician but old equipment appears to be not NEC compliant
December 31, 2018
Confirm that lake is still under drawdown order, pending compliance
DNR database indicates that drawdown order has not been lifted. Dam does not have Q500 or Q1000 capacity if lake is raised to normal pool. If drawdown order remains, coordinate compliance with DNR.
April 15, 2018
After years of non-compliance by the previous owner, this dam was just transferred to the Friendship Lake District, and the new owners look forward to completing the above as part of the municipal dam grant.

U/S = Upstream; D/S = Downstream
FIS flowof 1335 cfs seems very high for this basin, likely a result of an uncalibrated HEC watershed model. A USGS gage comparison nearly halves the Q100 from the FIS 1335 cfs value. The Friendship Lake Stillwater FIS value of 936.9 must take credit for powerhouse flow. The embankment sheet pile is about 2 feet lower than the top of spillway deck. In 2017, the HW reached 939.49 and downstream discharges exceeded 1300 cfs as confirmed with a HECRAS model using high water marks downstream in the park. However, gate opening is not known for this condition. The right abutment overtops at HW = 940.79. The low level sluice can provide 200 cfs of additional outflow capacity, but it lacks a dedicated hoist and so cannot be counted toward flow capacity.

Trashrack is 30% plugged with ice and debris. Head on rack is >12" which is probably more than design load. Remove debris.
Headrace is 7 foot wide inside finish and has 4" slot for raising headgates downstream of trashrack. Two gates (side by side) and one gate has 12" round port gate in it (photo 18). Inspector was unsure of purpose for having two gates and portal gate.
There is an access hole in the NE corner of PH and a camera was sent down this to look inside turbine pit. Manhole grab rungs provide entry but this area was not entered by inspector (possible confined space). Instead a camera was sent down with light.
Woodward No. 21 Rotary Governor per nameplate. Wicket gates were set at 50% open, and previous dam owner told new owner that a log or something was stuck in the wicket gates so they cannot be closed. Running the turbine at no load and at drawn down conditions may create maintenance issues for bottom thrust bearings and any intermediate water cooled bearings (if applicable, could not see any with camera). New owner reports that oil reservoir for top bearing is loosing oil slowly, so this may be excaserbated by no load operation of unit. Remove jam in gates and consult mechanical expert about turbine lubrication requirement. Photo 17 shows turbine pit.
Electrical may still not meet current code, and electrical hazards may exist. Inspector is not an electrician, but owner should consider having electrical inspected and updated as required
