As water tops the inlet into the
principal spillway, it flows through the dam into the
stilling basin
and then on downstream. In smaller watershed dams, the
stilling
basin basically consists of a small, erosion-protected pond and an
outlet channel. |

Because of the potentially higher
volumes of water at HorseThief Reservoir, the outlet works will
consist of a 15’ wide by 75’ long concrete structure equipped with
baffling devices to minimize downstream erosion. |
