Project Scope:

The dam and emergency spillway at Poston Park has experienced minor shifting and settling. This project performs repairs and adjustments to maintain structural integrity for continued operation of the dam.

Background:

The dam and spillway at Poston Park play an important role in moderating the flow of runoff and excess rainwater in the park area. In the 14 years since the dam's construction, it has successfully controlled many heavy storm events. This has led to shifting, cracking, and settling in the secondary spillway. While this does not currently present any safety risk to the public (this spillway is a secondary control structure meant to assist drainage in the most severe weather conditions), performing routine maintenance will ensure it remains safe, functional, and reliable for continued use in the future.
