The Greenville Dam is a long stone-filled timber crib spillway structure with two earth embankments with vertical stone masonry facing forming the spillway abutments. The total length of the dam is 664 feet including the 400 feet timber crib spillway. The outlet works for the dam is a series of 6-10 ft. W x 10 ft. H gates leading to a downstream canal used for generating power at a downstream facility. This dam has a maximum height of 29.0 feet and was originally build in the year 1982. The dam was judged to be in FAIR condition. However, because the river stage at the time of the visual inspection was high, the assessment of the dam is based only on those visible portions that could be readily inspected. Those components were the abutment embankments and the outlet structure. The spillway could not be evaluated. Several items require attention to insure the long term performance of the dam. They include: seepage at the left embankment, erosion at the toe of the left embankment, brush growth of the upstream face of the right embankment. Construction work at the left embankment has resulted in the temporary creation of a low area in that embankment crest. The routed Test Flood outflow for this dam is equal to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) or approximately 140,000 CFS and would overtop the dam by 6.2 feet. The maximum spillway discharge of 84,480 CFS represents 60 percent of the test flood outflow.

Taftville Reservoir No. 2 Dam is a zoned embankment about 667 ft. long with a concrete core wall, is 16 ft. wide at the crest, and has a maximum height of about 30 ft. It has a combined drop inlet spillway and outlet tower structure. The outfall from the drop inlet is a 16 in. dia. pipe and the outlet pipe is a 12 in. dia. A trapezoidal notch in the crest of the dam serves as an auxiliary spillway. Maximum storage capacity of the reservoir is 110 acre-feet and the drainage area is 69 acres. The dam appears to be in good condition. The crest and downstream slope are covered with brush growth and there is some local displacement of rock fill and riprap. The outlet tower structure has been subject to vandalism, including demolition and removal of the concrete block tower house. Previous inspection reports noted seepage at the toe of the embankment near the 16 in. dia. spillway outfall pipe, but with the reservoir empty no seepage was evident on the date of this inspection. The drop inlet and auxiliary spillways are together adequate to pass the selected test flood of 1/2 PMF without overtopping the dam.

The dam, constructed in 1964 and 1965 to replace an earlier dam which failed in 1963 is an earth embankment approximately 435 feet in length with an emergency spillway at its right end. It is approximately 30.5 feet in height and has a maximum design storage of approximately 235 acre-feet. The principal spillway is a drop inlet structure. The dike, built the same time as the dam is approximately 740 feet in length and 18.5 feet in height. The upstream slope is protected by riprap to approximately 3 feet above the normal pool and grassed to the top of the slope. There is a paved roadway along the top of the dike embankment and the downstream slope is grassed and contains a toe drain. Based upon the visual inspection and past performance, the project, is judged to be in good condition. No evidence of instability of either the dam or dike was observed. Peak inflow to the pond at PMF is 780 cubic feet per second (cfs); peak outflow is 490 cfs with the dam and dike maintaining 3.0 feet of freeboard. The combined spillway capacity to the top of the project is 1142 cfs, which is equivalent to 230% of the routed test flood outflow.

The dam, completed in 1961, is an earth embankment approximately 390 feet in length with an emergency spillway at its left with end. It is a flood control project approximately 28.5 feet in height and capable of impounding approximately 520 acre-feet of water. The principal spillway is a drop inlet type structure consisting of a reinforced concrete riser with a 24 inch diameter reinforced concrete outlet pipe through the dam. The grass-bottomed emergency spillway channel is cut into natural ground at the left end of the dam and has a crest length of 125 feet. The top and slopes of the dam are grass covered, with a filter drain at the toe of the downstream slope. Based upon the visual inspection and past performance, the dam is judged to be in good condition. No evidence of instability was observed in the project. There are some remedial measures, such as filling of large holes in the 'waste areas' adjacent to the dam, reestablishment of greasy vegetation in the vehicle tracks on the top of the dam, and institution of a biennial inspection program, which require attention. The spillway capacity with the pond level to the top of the dam is 4700 cfs, which is equivalent to 1300% of the routed test flood outflow.

The dam, built around 1920, has a total length of approximately 400 feet, consisting of a 184 foot long board-crested masonry spillway, a 190 foot long earth embankment, and a 27 foot long sluiceway. The top of the embankment, at elevation 88.7, is approximately 20 feet wide, 8.7 feet above the spillway crest, and 23 feet above the streambed of the Little River. With the pond level to the top of the dam, the pond impounds approximately 1000 acre-feet of water. The sluiceway at the left end of the dam leads to abandoned factory buildings about 400 feet from the dam. The intake to the sluiceway is a wood bulkhead, which contains 5 gates. Based upon the visual inspection at the site and past performance, the project is judged to be in poor condition. No evidence of instability of the project was observed. However, there are items which require maintenance, such as the dense vegetation on the embankment and the inoperable sluice gates. The spillway capacity with the pond level to the top of the dam is 13,000 cfs, which is equivalent to 108% of the routed test flood outflow.
