FROM: Amos Clark, P.E. DATE: October 17, 2001 RE: Eagle Ridge Phases 8A and 813 "Massengill" Pond Upgrades ACD-00020 Per telephone conversations between Jim Spangler, Brian Surak, and yourself this memo is to serve as a statement of need for the upgrades to be performed at the "Massengill" Pond. Development both upstream (resulting in a considerable increase in stormwater runoff to the basin) and downstream of this existing impoundment has substantially increased downstream risk in the event of catastrophic failure of the dam. Moreover, an initial geotechnical investigation by D. Miller and Associates indicates that the dam itself, as existing, is marginal as to its stability. In light of these circumstances, we deem it necessary to both upgrade the pond outlet structure (in order to safely pass runoff from large storm events, with due consideration of the runoff characteristics of' the developed watershed) and upgrade the dam per recommendations by D. Miller and Associates. These modifications will allow the pond to remain in place, while providing an acceptable level of protection for the lives and property of those residing downstream of the pond. We do believe that these planned upgrades are imperative to the continued safe operation of this facility, and that a satisfactory level of protection for the property and lives of downstream residents cannot be maintained without the proper implementation of the proposed plan. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have regarding this matter.
