PREFACE

This report is prepared under guidance contained in the Rec~mmended Guide-lines for Safety Inspection of Dams, for Phase I Investigations. Copiesof these guidelines may be obtained from the Office of Chief of Engineers,Washington, D.C. 20314. The purpose of a Phase I Investigation is toidentify expeditiously those dams which may pose hazards to human life orproperty. The assessment of the general condition of the dam is basedupon available data and visual inspections. Detailed investigation, andanalyses involving topographic mapping, subsurface investigations, test-ing, and detailed computational evaluations are beyond the scope of aPhase I Investigation; however, the investigation is intended to identifyany need for such studies.

In reviewing this report, it should be realized that the reported condi-tion of the dam is based on observations of field conditions at the timeof inspection along with data available to the inspection team. In caseswhere the reservoir was lowered or drained prior to inspection, such ac-tion, while improving the stability and safety of the dam, removes thenormal load on the structure and may obscure certain conditions whichmight otherwise be detectable if inspected under the normal operating en-vironment of the structure.

It is important to note that the condition of a dam depends on numerousand constantly changing internal and external conditions, and is evolu-tionary in nature. It would be incorrect to assume that the present con-dition of the dam will continue to represent the condition of the dam atsome point in the future. Only through frequent inspections can unsafeconditions be detected and only through continued care and maintenance canthese conditions be prevented or corrected.

Phase I inspections are not intended to provide detailed hydrologic andhydraulic analyses. In accordance with the established Guidelines, theSpillway Test flood is based on the estimated "Probable Maximum Flood" forthe region (greatest reasonably possible storm runoff), or fractionsthereof. Because of the magnitude and rarity of such a storm event, afinding that a spillway will not pass the test flood should not be inter-preted as necessarily posing a highly inadequate condition. The test

- flood provides a measure of relative spillway capacity and serves as anaide in determining the need for more detailed hydrologic and hydraulicstudies, considering the size of the dam, its general condition and thedownstream damage potential.

ASSESSMENT OFGENERAL CONDITIONS

he examination of documents and visual inspection of the dam and appurtenantstructures did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard tohuman life or property. The dam, however, has a number of problem areas whichshould be investigated further.

The structural stability analysis indicates unsatisfactory stability for thedam when subjected to forces which could occur during winter operations(Including ice loading), the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), and 1/2 PMF events.

A structural stability investigation of the dam should be started within6 months to determine the effect of the dam's steel bar anchor system and theuplift forces acting on the base of the dam. Remedial measures should be com-pleted within 2 years to increase the structural stability of the facility tomeet the Corps of Engineers screening criteria.

The hydrologic/hydraulic analysis establishes the spillway capacity as 46% ofthe Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) with the sluice gates open and 30% of the PMFif the gates remain closed throughout the storm. The dam will be overtopped by2.72 feet by the PMF with the gates closed or 2.55 feet with the gates opened.However, the spillway is capable of passing the 1/2 PMF under either of thesetwo conditions without the dam being overtopped. Therefore, the spillway isassesed as Inadequate according to the Corps of Engineers screening criteria.

The following measures should be completed within one year: 1T1. A warning system should be provided to alert persons that flow in the

receiving stream will be increased, when the control gates areopened.

2. A flood warning and emergency evacuation plan should be developed andimplemented to alert the public should conditions occur which couldresult in failure of the dam.

SECTION 1 - PROJECT INFORMATION

1.1 GENERAL

a. Authority

Authority for this report is provided by the National Dam InspectionAct, Public Law 92-367 of 1972. It has been prepared In accordancewith a contract for professional services between Dale EngineeringCompany and The New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-tion.

b. Purpose of Inspection

The purpose of this inspection is to evaluate the existing conditionof the Lake George Outlet Dam and appurtenant structures, owned bythe New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and todetermine if the dam constitutes a hazard to human life or propertyand to transmit findings to the State of New York.

This Phase I inspection report does not relieve an Owner or Opera-tor of a dam of the legal duties, obligations or liabilities asso-ciated with the ownership or operation of the dam. In addition, dueto the limited scope of services for these Phase I investigations,the investigators had to rely upon the data furnished to them.Therefore, this investigation is limited to visual inspection, reviewof data prepared by others, and simplified hydrologic, hydraulic andstructural stability evaluations where appropriate. The investiga-tors do not assume responsibility for defects or deficiencies in thedam or in the data provided.

1.2 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

a. Description of Dam and Appurtenances

The Lake George Outlet Dam is located in the Village of Ticonderoga,approximately 500 feet downstream from the Alexandria Avenue Bridgenear the southern boundary of the village. The dam is a concreteand masonry gravity structure approximately 110 feet long with a max-imum height of approximately 8 feet. Control gate structures arelocated on both the north and south abutments of the dam. The southabutment control structure consists of two electrically operatedsluice gates, one 8 feet wide by 7 feet high and one 10 feet wide by7 feet high. The north abutment control structure consists of asingle electrically operated sluice gate 10 feet wide by 7 feet high.The principal spillway section of the dam is located between the twocontrol gate structures and Is approximately 59 feet wide with a top

width of 5 feet, 10 inches. A walkway traverses the entire structure

allowing access across the dam during all but extreme high levelflows. The dam is situated on bedrock which is visible both at thedownstream face of the spillway section and at the upstream face ofthe dam when viewed through the water. The dam was formerly used asa source of power for mills owned by the International Paper Company.These mills have been demolished and only the foundation walls andfloor slabs now remain at the site.

b. Location

The Lake George Outlet Dam is located in the Village of Ticonderoga,Town of Ticonderoga, Essex County, New York.

c. Size Classification

The maximum height of the dam is approximately 8 feet. The storagevolume of the impoundment is approximately 2,185,000 acre feet.Therefore, the dam is in the Large Size Classification as defined bythe Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams.

d. Hazard Classification

Ticonderoga Creek, the receiving stream from the impoundment, flowsthrough the center of the Village of Ticonderoga. Numerous struc-tures are located along the banks of the creek. The creek is alsoused for recreational purposes such as fishing, swimming and sun-bathing. Therefore, the dam is in the High Hazard Category as de-fined by the Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams.

e. Ownership

The dam is owned by the New York State Department of EnvironmentalConservation.

Telephone: 518-623-3671

f. Purpose of the Dam

The dam is used to regulate the level of Lake George for recreationaland environmental purposes.

g. Design and Construction History

The construction plans included in this report indicate that the damwas reconstructed in 1974. This reconstruction consisted of theremoval and replacement of the sluice gates on both the north and

2

Page 17: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ALBANY F/G 13/13 DAM …Apr 22, 1980  · dam when subjected to forces which could occur during winter operations (Including ice loading), the Probable Maximum

south abutments and the placement of a concrete overlay on the up-stream face of the main spillway. This reconstruction program alsoprovided for the blockage of the existing penstocks which formerlyfed the paper mill power systems. Earlier inspection reports alsoincluded in this report indicate that the masonry dam was originallyconstructed in 1904 as a source of power for the International PaperCompany mills located along the banks of the Ticonderoga Creek. Alater report dated July 31, 1920 indicates 1803 as the date of origi-nal construction of an earlier dam at this site.

h. Normal Operational Procedures

The facility is operated by the New York State Department of Environ-mental Conservation. The facility is used to control the level ofLake George by manipulating the sluice gates at the structure. Thenormal controlled level of Lake George is 3.5 feet on the gauge atRogers Rock State Park. The "0" reading on the gauge is equivalentto an elevation of 315.93 feet above sea level on the USGS datum.

SECTION 3 - VISUAL INSPECTION

3.1 FINDINGS

a. General

The Lake George Outlet Dam was inspected on April 22, 1980. The DaleEngineering Company Inspection Team was accompanied on the inspectionby Charles W. Glass, Engineering Technician for the Department ofEnvironmental Conservation, Region 5 in Warrensburg, New York.

b. Dam

At the time of the inspection, all of the sluice gates controllingthe outflow from the impoundment were in the full open position. Thewater level in the impoundment was 11 inches below the top of theprincipal spillway. This condition allowed visual inspection of thedownstream face of the spillway section. However, flow through thesluice gate channels obscured the concrete walls in these areas fromview. There was no sign of seepage through the masonry face of theprincipal spillway. The concrete work in general appeared to be inexcellent condition. Visual observation did not disclose physicaldisplacement of the alignment of the structure and there was novisual evidence of structural instability.

c. Appurtenant Structures

Both the north and south abutments of the dam were formerly the siteof mills of the International Paper Company. The remains of thesemills are still evident on the site. Masonry walls on both sides ofthe downstream channel were formerly a part of the mill structures.A concrete floor slab is presently visible on the north abutment ofthe dam. The void below this concrete slab has been filled with de-bris from the demolition of the mill buildings. The masonry wallsalong the channel are in satisfactory condition so as not to presenta hazard from erosion due to flow in the outlet channel.

d. Control Outlet

The outlet of the impoundment is controlled by manipulation of thesluice gates located on both the north and south abutments. Thesesluice gates are electrically operated and were the major portion ofthe 1974 reconstruction of the dam. The inlet of the sluice gatesare equipped with trash racks to prevent floatable material frombeing lodged in the sluice gate opening. The sluice gates are pre-sently in operating condition.

e. Reservoir Area

Lake George extends approximately 32 miles to the south of the LakeGeorge Outlet Dam. The lake is used extensively for recreational

I"

purposes. The shore of the lake slopes steeply to elevations of over

2200 feet. The lake reaches depths of approximately 175 feet alongthe east shore. There are no known areas of bank instability alongJthe impoundment.

f. Downstream Channel

t The downstream channel of the Ticonderoga Creek is formed in bedrock.No evidence of recent erosion was noted in the channel.

J3.2 EVALUATION

The visual inspection revealed that the dam is generally in good con-dition. The sluice gate structures are in excellent operating condi-tion and the concrete surfaces are similarly in good condition. Nodeformation of the alignment of the structures was noted in the visu-al inspection.

SECTION 4 - OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

4.1 PROCEDURES

The normal operating procedure for this structure is to control thewater level in Lake George for recreational and environmental pur-poses. The sluice gates at the structure are used to regulate thelevel of the impoundment. Water level readings are made at the gaugeat the Rogers Rock Campsite and are relayed to the regional headquar-ters for the Department of Environmental Conservation at WarrensburgThe gauge readings are interpreted and directions are given to theoperator in the Village of Ticonderoga who operates the gates. Theprocedures for regulating the level is set forth in Section 38,Chapter 1035, Laws of 1957, as amended of the Navigation Law. (Seecopy of the law on last page of Appendix B.)

4.2 MAINTENANCE OF THE DAM

Maintenance and operation of the dam is controlled by the New YorkState Department of Environmental Conservation. Visits are made tothe site to check on the conditions of the facilities and to operatethe sluice gates.

4.3 MAINTENANCE OF OPERATING FACILITIES

The gates controlling the flow are presently in excellent operatingcondition and are checked at least once a month by the New York StateDepartment of Environmental Conservation.

4.4 DESCRIPTION OF WARNING SYSTEM

No warning system is in effect at present.

4.5 EVALUATION

The dam and appurtenances are inspected at regular intervals by theNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The facil-ities are in excellent condition and there is no evidence of deteri-oration caused by lack of maintenance.

A formalized inspection program should be initiated to develop dataregarding the physical conditions of the facility and to document thevarious maintenance operations wAich are undertaken at the dam.

A warning system should be installed to alert pesons who may be inthe creek channel hen the control gates are to be opened. Present-ly, the operator of the gates must visually determine if persons arein the channel and warn them individually when the gates are to beopened.

Because the dam is in the high hazard classification a flood warningand emergency evacuation plan should be implemented to alert the pub-lic, should conditions occur Aich could result in failure of thedam.

SECTION 5 - HYDROLOGIC/HYDRAULIC

5.1 DRAINAGE AREA CHARACTERISTICS

The Lake George Outlet Dam is located in the south-east corner ofEssex County in Ticonderoga, New York. The dam has a drainage areaof 231.4 square miles, which is characterized by mountains risingsteeply from the lake valley. The reservoir has a surface area ofapproximately 29,000 acres and outlets into Ticonderoga Creek, whichflows in a northerly then easterly direction through Ticonderoga toLake Champlain.

5.2 ANALYSIS CRITERIA

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the dam and spillwaywith respect to their flood control potential and adequacy. This hasbeen assessed through the evaluation of the Probable Maximum Flood(PMF) for the watershed and the subsequent routing of the flood

through the reservoir and the dam's spillway system. The PMF eventis that hypothetical flow induced by the most critical combination ofprecipitation, minimum infiltration loss and concentration of run-offof a specific location that is considered reasonably possible for aparticular drainage area. Since the dam is in the Large Dam Categoryand is a High Hazard, the Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspec-tion of Dams (Ref. 1) require that the spillway be capable of passingthe Probable Maximum Flood.

The hydrologic analysis was performed using the unit hydrograph meth-od to develop the flood hydrograph. Due to the limited scope of thisPhase I investigation, certain assumptions based on experience andexisting data were used in this analysis and in the determination ofthe dam's spillway capacity to pass the PMF. In the event that thedam could not pass the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping,additional analyses are to be performed on potential dam failures ifthe dam is designated as a High Hazard Classification. This processwas done with the concept that if the dam was unable to satisfy thiscriteria, further refined hydrologic investigations would berequired.

The dam is equipped with three sluice gated outlets which are normal-ly operated electrically, but can be manually operated. The New YorkState Department of Conservation controls the operation of thesegates and is required by law to open these gates vhen the water ele-vation in the main portion of the lake corresponds to approximatelyfour inches above the spillway elevation. Due to the flow restric-tion of Alexandria Avenue Bridge under high flows, the water eleva-tion just upstream of the dam may be half a foot or more below thewater surface in the main portion of the lake. Two cases were con-sidered in the hydraulic analysis of the spillway capacity. One caseassumed the water surface to Initially be at the top of spillway ele-vatlon and the sluice gates to open When the water surface raised

9L

Page 24: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ALBANY F/G 13/13 DAM …Apr 22, 1980  · dam when subjected to forces which could occur during winter operations (Including ice loading), the Probable Maximum

slightly above this elevation. The second modelled case assumed thesluice gates to remain closed throughout the flood event.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center'sIComputer Program HEC-1 DB using the Modified Puls Method of floodrouting was used to evaluate the dam, spillway capacity, and down-stream hazard.

Unit hydrographs were defined by Snyder coefficients, Ct andCf• Snyder's Ct was estimated to be 1.5 for the steeplysloped drainage area and C was estimated to be 0.625. Thedrainage area was divided qnto sub-areas to model the variability inhydrologic characteristics within the drainage basin. Due to thelength of Lake George, the hydrographs from the sub-basins draininginto the lake were lagged to reflect the travel time through thelake. Run-off, routing and flood hydrograph combining was thenperformed to obtain the inflow into the reservoir.

The Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) was 17.5 inches according toHydrometeorological Report (HMR #33) for a 24-hour duration storm,200 square mile basin, while loss rates were set at 1.0 inch initialabstraction and 0.1 inches/hour continuous loss rate. The loss ratefunction yielded 80 percent run-off from the PMF. The peak for thePMF inflow hydrograph was 279,480 cfs and the 1/2 PMF inflow peak was139,737 cfs. The large storage capacity of the reservoir reducedthese peak flows to 5,624 cfs for the PMF and 1,540 cfs for the 1/2PMF, for the condition with all gates closed. The peak dischargeflows for the condition with the gates open were 6,996 cfs for thePMF and 2,932 cfs for the 1/2 PMF.

5.3 SPILLWAY CAPACITY

Under normal operation, water either spills over the central portionof the dam or is wasted through one or more of the the sluice gates.However, for higher flows, water may also spill over the sluice gateabutment sections before the dam abutment walls are overtopped. Thecentral section of the dam is approximately 60 feet in length andacts like a broad-crested weir. Weir coefficients ranging from 2.5to 3.1 over the heads encountered in routing the PMF were assigned tothis section for the spillway rating curve development. For the PMFevaluation, the analysis was performed both with all sluice gates inthe closed position, and with all gates opened. Weir coefficients of2.64 were used for the sluice gate abutment sections and 3.32 forflow over the top of the sluice gates. Discharges through the opengates were taken from an actual rating curve obtained from the De-partment of Environmental Conversation's Warrensburg office. Thetotal discharge capacity of the structure at the top of dam elevationis 1,665 cfs with the gates closed and 3250 cfs with gates opened.

The reservoir storage capacity was estimated from USGS mapping andthe New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Educa-tional Leaflet on Lake George.

The resulting estimates of the reservoir storage capacity are shownbel ow:

Top of Dam 2,279,000 Acre Feet

Spillway Crest 2,185,000 Acre Feet

5.5 FLOODS OF RECORD

The maximum recorded discharge at the dam site was 1470 cfs onApril 9, 1936 (Ref. 18). This occurred during operation of the pre-vious dam and gate structures. The maximum recorded discharge duringthe operation of the present structure was 1370 cfs on March 17, 1977(Ref. 19). This discharge was measured at the La Chute U.S.G.S. gageapproximately 2,800 feet downstream from the dam. Due to the regu-lating capability of the outlet gates and the large storage capacityof the lake, the peak discharge from any storm is very much influ-enced by the initial lake level and the operation of the gates.

5.6 OVERTOPPING POTENTIAL

The HEC-l DB analysis indicates that the dam will be overtopped asfollows:

(WITH GATES CLOSED)

Flood Maximum Depth Over Dam

PMF 2.72 Feet1 1/2 PMF 0 Feet

(WITH GATES OPENED)

Flood Maximum Depth Over Dam-Ir 2.55 Feet

1/2 PMF 0 Feet

Under normal operating conditions the gates would be opened underhigh flows to control the lake level and discharge.

It should also be noted that historical evidence indicates that theAlexandria Avenue bridge opening acts as a flow restriction underhigh flows. Therefore, the water elevation in the main portion ofthe lake would be higher than the water elevation of the portion justupstream of the dam. This condition would further utilize the lakesnatural storage capacity and reduce the peak discharges from largefloods somewhat. The analysis of the effect of the Alexandria Avenuebridge was not within the scope of this investigation. Any addition-al hydrologic and hydraulic investigations of the Lake George OutletDam should incorporate the effect of the Alexandria Avenue bridge onthe attenuation of the studied floods.

5.7 EVALUATION

The hydrologic/hydraulic analysis establishes the spillway capacityas 46% of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) with the sluice gates openand 30% of the PMF if the gates remain closed throughout the storm.The dam will be overtopped by 2.72 feet by the PMF with the gatesclosed or 2.55 feet with the gates opened. However, the spillway iscapable of passing the 1/2 PMF under either of these two conditionswithout the dam being overtopped. Therefore, the spillway isassessed as inadequate according to the Corps of Engineers screeningcriteria.

SECTION 6 -STRUCTURAL STABILITY

6.1 EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL STABILITY

a. Visual Observations

The Lake George Outlet Dam is a masonry and concrete structure sitedon a natural rock ledge along the stream outlet from Lake George intoLake Champlain. Foundation bedrock is exposed at and below the down-stream toe of the dam.

This dam, constructed in 1903 of masonry, had renovations performedin 1974 which included rebuilding of the northerly and southerlyabutment sections, new sluice gates for the abutment sections, and apoured concrete refacing of the dam's upstream side.

At the time of the inspection, the sluice gates were open and dis-charging, with the level of the upstream impoundment approximatelyone foot below the crest of the spillway section. The condition ofthe visible new concrete work is good to excellent, and the down-stream masonry face of the dam is fairly good although deteriorationof some mortar joints is occurring. No evidence of structural in-stability was noted. No indication of underdam seepage was apparentalthough the dam's downstream face was damp from what was believed tobe spray from the turbulent discharge through the sluice gates, acondition which would tend to mask a low rate of seepage.

The downstream channel area adjacent to the dam is defined by rockand by sections of now-abandoned masonry walls founded on the area'sbedrock. Presumably, the masonry construction represents the remainsof mill buildings previously located at this site. Varying degreesof deterioration have affected this masonry but it appears stablewithout threat to the downstream channel.

A plate girder bridge for a now-abandoned section of railroad crossesthe dam's impounding area a short distance upstream. The foundationfor the center span (reservoir) piers supporting this bridge consistof timber cribbing placed on stones. Deterioration of the timber wasobserved.

b. Geology and Seismic Stability

Geologically, the dam site is located near the eastern boundary ofthe Adirondack Province and about one mile from the southwest cornerof the Champlain Section of the Valley and Ridge Province.

The dam's foundation and abutments are sited in bedrock. Bedrock isgranitic to syenitic gneiss, and rated as a hard, durable, dense,resistant and impermeable material. Weathering is very minor.Structurally, rock foliation is from approximately horizontal to an

13

orientation of N8*W with a dip of lONE. Three prominent joint sets* are present as follows:

Set Strike Dip Spacing

1 N1OE 50-60W 2'-4'2 N82E 900 3'-6'; 40" common3 N72W 900 1"-4"

With the dam axis having a northeast - southwest orientation, jointSet 1 is almost parallel to the dam face and dips steeply downstream.Sets 2 and 3 strike at a high angle to the dam. Foliation is eitherhorizontal or dips at a low angle into the dam. This combination offoliation and joints presents the possibility that hydraulic actionand frost wedging could remove blocks of rock from the outcrop apronat the toe of the dam. Open joints at the toe were observed duringthe inspection.

Several faults are located in the vicinity of the dam but none areknown to cross the site. (See Geologic Map, Figure 21.) The area islocated within Zone 2 of the Seismic Probablility Map but does havethe potential of a Zone 3 Designation.

Information on some of the larger earthquakes for the area is tabu-lated below:

Intensity LocationDate Modified Mercalli Relative to Dam

1851 11 12 mi. NNE1855 IV 32 mi. SW1867 VII 24 mi. NE1916 V 16 ml. SW1931 VII 32 mi. SW1946 Il 16 ml. W1962 V 19 mi. N

Many earthquakes of lesser intensity are known to have occurred inthis region according to the New York State Geologic Survey althoughnone have been in the immediate vicinity of the dam.

c. Stability Evaluation

Design drawings available for review show plan alignment and thecross-section for the dam spillway but do not include information onthe properties of the dam and foundation materials, nor stabilityanalysis. As part of the present study, stability evaluations havebeen performed for the dam spillway section. Actual properties ofthe dam's construction materials and foundations were not determinedas part of this study; where information on properties was necessaryfor computations but lacking, assumptions felt to be practical weremade. The stability computations assumed a structural cross-section

14

Page 29: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ALBANY F/G 13/13 DAM …Apr 22, 1980  · dam when subjected to forces which could occur during winter operations (Including ice loading), the Probable Maximum

based on dimensions indicated by the plans included in this report.It should be considered that, in areas where deterioration has oc-curred, section dimensions would be less than indicated by the plans,with some adverse effect on the structural strength expected. Theanalysis also assumed the dam section to be monol Ithic, possessingnecessary internal resistance to shear and bending occurring as aresult of loading.

The results of the stability computations are summarized in the tablefollowing this page. The stability analyses are presented in

Appendix D.

The engineering studies indicate satisfactory stability against over-turning and sliding effects for the dam subject to forces possibleduring normal summer-type operation (no ice loading). Satisfactorystability is also indicated where seismic effects are imposed ontothe normal summer operating condition. The analysis indicates unsat-isfactory stability against overturning for the dam subject to forcesincluding ice loading possible during winter operations, according tothe Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams (i.e., wherethe resultant of forces acting on the dam is located outside themiddle third of the base, tensile stresses would develop in the damsection, a condition which is structurally undesirable.)

For the 1/2 PMF and PMF conditions, unsatisfactory stability isindicated. Lateral water pressures were calculated from the computedwater surface elevations.

Critical to the analysis and resulting indication of stability arethe items of uplift water pressure acting on the base of the dam andthe relative permeabil'ty of the site's foundation rock. For the"normal operating conaitions" case, the analysis uplift force wasbased on a full headwater hydrostatic pressure acting on the dam'supstream corner and a full tailwater hydrostatic pressure acting onthe dam's downstream corner. Uplift pressures were assumed to varylinearly between the dam's upstream and downstream corners, and toact upon 100 percent of the dam base. The resulting uplift forcerepresents a condition that is significant to indications of insta-bility.

Uplift as computed for the normal operating condition was also as-signed to the flood conditions studied, assuming that uplift pres-sures would not increase significantly over a relatively short floodstage time period because of an expected low foundation rock perme-ability. With this assumption for uplift, the winter operatingcondition represents a .loading combination more critical to damstability than the 1/2 PMF and PMF flood conditions because of thesignificant effect of ice forces.

Design information applicable to the 1974 renovation indicates steeldowels (5/8 inch bars) were embedded into the foundation rock within

1the heel section of the dam. Anchoring at this location increasesthe dam's resistance to overturning. However, a preliminary analysisindicates that the additional resistance necessary to achieve satis-factory stability under the winter operations loading condition wouldInot be provided by the dowels.

Further studies are required for this dam to evaluate factors criti-cal to its stability, including the presence of uplift, anticipatingthat it will be necessary to develop measures for improving the sta-bility. A future study should include investigation of the dam'sfoundation rock to evaluate the rock jointing described under part6.1.b. of this report. It is also recommended that the studies ex-tend to the railroad bridge behind the dam, evaluating the stabilityof that structure and its foundations if subject to flood conditions,as a prelude to considering the impact its collapse could have on thedam.

SECTION 7 - ASSESSMENT/REMEDIAL MEASURES

7.1 DAM ASSESSMENT

a. Safety

This Phase I inspection of the Lake George Dam did not indicate con-ditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or proper-ty.

The hydrologic/hydraulic analysis establishes the spillway capacityas 46% of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) with the sluice gates openand 30% of the PMF if the gates remain closed throughout the storm.However, the spillway is capable of passing the 1/2 Ptf without thedam being overtopped under either of these two conditions. There-fore, the spillway is assessed as inadequate.

The following specific safety assessments are based on the Phase 1Visual Examination, Analysis of Hydrology and Hydraulics, and Struc-tural Stability.

1. The stability analysis indicates unsatisfactory stabilityagainst overturning for the dam when subjected to forces whichcould occur during winter operations (including ice loading),the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), and 1/2 PW events.

2. Normal operation of the facility requires that sluice gates beopened to maintain the optimum level in Lake George. Increasedflow in the receiving stream caused by opening of the sluicegates presents a danger to persons using the stream for recrea-tional purposes.

3. No warning system is in effect to alert the public, should con-ditions occur which could result in failure of the dam.

b. Adequacy of Information

The information available is adequate for the Phase I investigation.

c. Urgency

The structural stability investigations should be commenced within 6months and remedial work necessary to improve the stability should becompleted within two years. The remaining items should be attendedto within one year.

d. Need for Additional Investigation

Further investigations relative to the structural stability of thefacility should be performed to determine appropriate remedial mea-sures necessary to provide stability under the load conditions setforth in the "Recommended Standards for Safety Inspection of Dams."

FI

I 7.2 RECOMMENDED MEASURES

1. A structural stability analysis of the dam should be conducted todetermine the effect of the dam's steel bar anchor system and theuplift forces acting on the base of the dam. Remedial measuresshould be taken to increase the structural stability of the facilityto meet the Corps of Engineers Screening Criteria.

J2. A warning system should be provided to alert persons that flow in thereceiving stream will be increased, when the control gates areopened.

3. A flood warning and emergency evacuation plan should be implementedto alert the public, should conditions occur which could result infailure of the dam.

4. A formalized inspection system should be initiated to develop data onconditions and maintenance operations at the facility.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR OPERATIONOF LAKE GEORGE OUTLET

LAW"

The law regulating the water surface at Lake George, dated March 27, 1957,provides a maximum water surface elevation of 4.00 feet through the year, and aminimum water surface elevation of 2.5 feet from June 1 to December 1, with dueallowance for natural fluctuations or emergencies. In addition, the law statesthat the water surface between June 1 and September 30 is to be an average of3.5 feet. Water surface elevations are based on the U.S.G.S. Roger Rock Gauge.The law further states that if the level of the lake rises above 4.0 chat allgates shall be opened and that if the level of the lake drops below 2.5 fromJune 1 to December 1, all gates shall be closed.

REGULATION GUIDELINES

In order to satisfy the Legislative mandates and achieve the most desirablelake levels for all interests concerned, the following general guides are given:

1. Starting with the winter freeze-up period, try to have the lake elevationat about 2.6 by around December 15. Freeze-up generally starts aboutmid-December to January 1. By keeping elev. at 2.6 + for winter period,this allows for spring thaw without requiring a large drop in the watersurface. If one were to drop from say 4.0 + to 2.6 + while lake is frozen,there would be damage to docks around the lake. One can probably not gotoo low for freeze-up (say 1.8 or 2.0) because if too much shoreline isexposed damage can occur to docks and retqining walls, etc. from frostheave. Also, gate capacity may not allow for such a drawdown with normalinflow at this time of year.

2. Snow surveys are to be made in late January, February, mid-March, andlate March. According to this information, provide storage and operategates to achieve a level of 3.5 + by May 1. The usual Spring conditionwill be for the lake to rise about 1.5 ft. from snowmelt and rains in thisperiod--even with the gates discharging relatively large flows. Thelake generally will fill by mid-April.

3. During May and June with lake at 3.5 +, be alert for sudden rains whichhave tendency for high runoff and may cause lake to rise + 0.5 in thisperiod.

Page 74: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ALBANY F/G 13/13 DAM …Apr 22, 1980  · dam when subjected to forces which could occur during winter operations (Including ice loading), the Probable Maximum

r -2-

4. In Aug., Sept., and Oct., there is-often a drawdown (from the acceptableaverage of 3.5 +) with lows usually coming near the end of Oct. Thisis due to loweriinflows combined with evaporation losses. By conservationpractice try to keep the lake up at 3.5 + for as long as possible to allowboat owners to bring in boats during Sept., Oct. and beginning of Nov.After this period drawdown lake to winter elevation of 2.6 + bymid-December.

5. In summary, problem areas to watch will be: (1) Spring to allow properstorage for spring runoff; (2) Late Spring and eary summer when the wateris high and the ground is usually wet the gates will immediately requirefull opening if heavy rains occur; (3) Early winter to avoid too high ortoo low a freeze-up elevation; (4) Conservation during summer to avoidlows during late summer and Fall.

GENERAL NOTES

1. The above represent general guidelines and should be refined as ex-perience dictates or conditions change. Unusual conditions (floods, droughts,etc.) will deviate from the above and will have to be handled as best onecan.

2. The mountainous character and soil of the Lake George Watershed resultsin a rapid runoff. The discharge capacity of the control structure israther small in relation to the size of the lake. Therefore, the lakelevel responds rapidly on inflow but slowly on discharge. For example,an inch of runoff, which can occur in less than 24 hours, will raise thelake about 4.3 inches. At maximum outflow of about 1,200 cfs, it wouldtake four or five days to lower the lake 4.3 inches providing no addi-tional inflow occurs.

3. For drought conditions, a low flow release may be required for sewagedilution, process water, and fish life.

4. Day-to-day operation of the gates will depend primarily on (1) existingelevation of the lake; (2) rainfall measurements, (3) drainage areaconditions such as saturated ground, forzen ground, high or low snowmelt potential.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL

TITLE 9500 - WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

CHAPTER 9590 - LAKE GEORGE WATER LEVEL MANAGEMENT

Introduction. Since 1957 New York State has had responsibility

for overseeing the regulation of the water levels of Lake George.

SThis responsibility was with. Department of Transportation until

1968 when it was transferred to the Department of Environmental

Conservation. During this time and until recently, the actual

operation of the Lake George Outlet Gates, which control Lake

George water levels, was done by International Paper Co.,

Ticonderoga, N.Y. who were the owners of the Outlet Dam.

In March of 1974, the Department of Environmental Conservation

acquired ownership of the dam and took over the actual operation

of the Outlet Gates. The lake level is regulated according to

the applicable section of the Navigation Law. The outlet dam

was reconstructed in the summer of 1974 by the Department of

Environmental Conservation. In 1976 further work is

planned to complete the modernization of the outlet gates.

9590.1 - Authority. Section 38, Chapter 1035, Laws of 1957, as amended, of the

Navigation Law.

1. The law regulating the water surface at Lake George, dated March 27,

1957, provides for a maximum water surface elevation of 4.00 feet through the

year, and a minimum water surface elevation of 2.5 feet from June 1 to December 1,.

with due allowance for natural fluctuations or emergencies. In addition, the law

states that the water surface between June 1 and September 30 is to be an average

of 3.5 feet. Water surface elevations are based on the U.S.G..S. RogersRock Gauge.

The law further states that if the level of the lake rises above 4.0 that all

gates shall be opened and that if the level of the lake drops below 2.5 from

June I to December 1, all gates shall be closed.

.9590.2 - ObJective.

1. To regulate the water level of Lake George as nearly as possible in

accordance with the prescribed law and maintain the most desirable lake levels

and flow releases for all concerned interests.

2. To set forth duties and responsibilities of Departmental units regarding

regulation of the water levels of Lake George.

9590.3 - Policy.

1. Regulation guidelines will be established and revised as necessary for

obtaining as nearly as possible the lake levels as prescribed by law and for the

best interests of all concerned parties.

2. Adequate records will be maintained to insure proper lake level operation

and for analytical and historical purposes.

9590.4 - Procedures.

1. Guidelines for Lake Regulation

a. Starting with the winter freeze-up period (December 15) the lake

elevation will generally be kept on the low side (2.8 ±).

b. Snow surveys are to be made in late January, February, Hid-March

and late March. According to this information, provide storage and

operate gates to achieve a level of 3.5 ± by May 1.

c. From May through October keep lake at 3.5 ±.

d. By mid-December have lake at lower elevation for winter period.

. Notes:

1. The foregoing general regulation guidelines should be

* refined as experience dictates or conditions change. Unusual

conditions (floods, droughts, etc.) may deviate from the

Page 78: ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ALBANY F/G 13/13 DAM …Apr 22, 1980  · dam when subjected to forces which could occur during winter operations (Including ice loading), the Probable Maximum

• ~fs- " C

* Guidelines and will have to be handled as best one can.

2. Day-to-day operation of the gates will depend primarily on

(1) existing elevation of the lake; (2) drainage area conditions

such as saturated ground, frozen ground, high or low snow melt

potential; (3) rainfall data.

2. Responsibilities for Lake Regulation

Dear Sir:-

Annexed is a communication from Mr. Thomas

concerning the International Paper Company at Ticon-

deroga. I believe this is outside our province and

that the only redress for the aggrieved parties is

either to obtain an injunction, or to sue the company

for damages. Is this correct?

I am about to go out of town until Londay,

3o you can take : naatter up with Deputy Coi.xiissioner

Fox,

Yours respectfully,

Inspector of Docks and Dams.
