5 1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE A. To safeguard the lives as well as to reduce property damage of the citizens living within the dam's potential downstream flood or inundation area. B. To provide for effective dam surveillance, prompt notification to local emergency management agencies, citizen warning and evacuation response, when required. C. To assign emergency actions to be taken by the dam operator/owner, public officials, emergency personnel, and to outline response actions in the event of a potential or imminent failure of the dam. 2. SITUATION A. The dam is a 61- foot high, 1,300 foot long, earth fill embankment dam, maintaining a normal pool of 1,075 acre-feet of water with a maximum pool capacity of 1,730 acrefeet. B. The dam is located along the headwaters of Bells Gap Run, approximately 2.25 miles west of the Borough of Bellwood along State Route 865. Refer to the Location Map at Attachment C. C. The inundation area resulting from a sudden Bellwood Dam failure includes portions of Antis Township, Roots, Reightown, Bellwood Borough, Fostoria, Tipton, Charlottsville, Snyder Township, Grazierville, Gray, Tyrone Township, Tyrone Borought Nealmont, Tyrone Forge, Ironville, Warriors Mark Township, Birmingham Borough, Shoenberger, Morris Township, Union Furnace, Spruce Creek Township, Pemberton and Spruce Creek. The inundation area is comprised of corridors along Bells Gap Run and the Little Juniata River. Refer to the Innundation Map in Appendix A. D. There are approximately 1,500 structures within the inundation area. Refer to the inundation map at Attachment A. Of those 1,500 structures, approximately 400 are businesses and 1,100 are residences. According to the U.S. Census Bureau s 2010 tabulations, the average household size in Blair County is 2.39 persons; therefore, the population living within the inundation area is estimated to be approximately 2,600 people. Important facilities within the inundation area (hospitals, schools, and fire stations) include: The Bellwood-Antis High School and Middle School at 400 Martin St, Bellwood, PA. The Lewis M. Myers Elementary School at 220 Martin St, Bellwood PA. The Excelsior Fire Company at 339 S 1st St, Bellwood PA. 1

6 The Blazing Arrow Hook & Ladder Fire Company (Tyrone Fire Department Station 33) at 1216 Blair Ave, Tyrone, PA. 3. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A. SURVEILLANCE NORMAL CONDITIONS - Altoona Water Authority (AWA) 1. The Chief Operator will conduct an on-site visual inspection of the dam, the dam's spillway(s), control systems, and the toe area below the dam at a minimum of once every three months. Any abnormal or questionable conditions will be immediately brought to the attention of the owner's engineer and the Division of Dam Safety of DEP. B. SURVEILLANCE UNUSUAL EVENT CONDITIONS (DAM WATCH) 1. The Chief Operator will commence surveillance of conditions at the dam site when: a. Severe thunderstorms, heavy rains with local flood warnings, tropical storms and hurricanes, or heavy rains with frozen ground and/or snow cover are occurring. b. The National Weather Service issues a flash flood watch or warning and conditions warrant. c. Any abnormal or questionable conditions as identified in Section 3.D.1. C. EARLY WARNING NOTIFICATION 1. The Chief Operator is responsible for determining the dam s threat potential. The following conditions constitute a dam early warning notification to the Blair County Emergency Management Agency and require 24-hour aroundthe-clock surveillance. a. The water level in the impoundment area has reached the threshold level of 8-feet below the top of the dam and is rising, or b. Following the occurrence of an earthquake in the general region of the dam. 2. Early warning notification will be relayed from the Blair County Emergency Management Agency to the PEMA State EOC and all applicable emergency responders and designated government officials and agencies. Refer to Section 4.B for additional notifications. 2

7 D. WARNING AND EVACUATION NOTIFICATION 1. The Chief Operator is responsible for determining the dam s threat potential. The following conditions constitute a dam emergency requiring warning and evacuation notification to the Blair Emergency Management Agency. a. The depth of flow in the emergency spillway has reached the level of 5.5-feet, and b. The water level in the impoundment area has reached the threshold level of 6.6-feet below the top of the dam and is rising, or c. Imminent failure of this dam might be indicated by observance of one or more of the following conditions at the dam site: 1) The lake or pond level is at or near the top of the dam and water is flowing, or about to flow, over the top of the dam. 2) The overflow pipe or spillway is damaged, or clogged with debris or ice, which is resulting in a rapid rise in the lake or pond level. 3) The emergency spillway is experiencing heavy flows which are causing severe erosion to the spillway or the dam embankment. 4) Any structural movement or failure of the concrete spillway or the spillway abutment walls. 5) Any sloughing or sliding of the embankment upstream or downstream slope. Also, earth slides in the spillway channel, either upstream or downstream of the dam s crest, which could impede the flow in the spillway. 6) Subsidence, sinkholes or cracks found in any part of the dam s embankment or abutting slopes. 7) Any new discharge of water is observed through the dam s embankment or abutting slopes, adjacent to any conduit outlets or under the dam which appears as a boil along the downstream toe. Should such a discharge occur and the water is cloudy or muddy in color, then a very serious problem exists. 3

8 2. Warning notification will be relayed from the Blair County Emergency Management Agency to the PEMA State EOC and all applicable emergency responders and designated government officials and agencies. Refer to Section 4.B for additional notifications. 3. Emergency management officials will accomplish the needed actions, which are explained in this EAP, in accordance with their existing recommended operating guidelines and existing municipal or county emergency operation plans. 4. Warning and evacuation of the public must commence upon notification by the AWA of a potential or imminent failure of the dam. Emergency responders should initiate action in accordance with the plan outline and any existing internal organizational recommended operation guidelines and existing municipal or county operation plans. E. TERMINATION OF SURVEILLANCE AND NOTIFICATIONS 1. The Chief Operator may terminate 24-hour surveillance of dam site conditions when: a. All National Weather Service flash flood watches or warnings have expired, and b. Heavy rains have ended and the water level in the lake has dropped 10-feet below the top of the dam and is receding. c. After personal inspection of the dam site has been conducted by a knowledgeable professional engineer following an earthquake, overtopping of the dam or an evacuation of the inundation area as a result of this EAP, or other serious problems resulting in a notification of a dam site emergency and the Department concurs with the results of the inspection. 2. Upon termination of 24-hour surveillance of dam site conditions, the Chief Operator shall notify the Blair County Emergency Management Agency. 3. Termination of notifications will be relayed from the Blair County Department of Emergency Services to the PEMA State EOC and all applicable emergency responders and designated government officials and agencies. Refer to Section 4.B for additional notifications. 4

16 3. Blair County Emergency Operations Plan. 7. DEFINITIONS A. ABUTMENT - The part of the valley side against which the dam is constructed. Right and left abutments are those on respective sides of an observer when viewed looking downstream. B. AFFECTED COUNTIES/MUNICIPALITIES - Those jurisdictions within Pennsylvania or adjoining states that, according to the inundation map, may experience flooding as a result of a failure of a dam. C. BOIL - A disturbance in the surface layer of soil caused by water escaping under pressure from behind a water-retaining structure such as a dam or a levee. The boil may be accompanied by deposition of soil particles (usually sand) in the form of a ring (miniature volcano) around the area where the water escapes. D. BREACH - An opening or a breakthrough of a dam sometimes caused by rapid erosion of a section of earth embankment by water. E. CONDUIT - A closed channel to convey water through, around or under a dam. F. CONTROL TOWER A structure in the dam or reservoir used to control withdraw of water from the reservoir through pipes or culverts. G. CREST OF DAM - The crown of an overflow section of the dam. In the United States, the term "crest of dam" is often used when "top of dam" is intended. To avoid confusion, the terms "crest of spillway" and "top of dam should be used for referring to the overflow section and dam proper, respectively. H. CULVERT - (a) A drain or waterway structure built transversely under a road, railway, or embankment. A culvert usually comprises a pipe or a covered channel of box section. (b) A gallery or waterway constructed through any type of dam, which is normally dry but is used occasionally for discharging water; hence the terms "scour culvert", "drawoff culvert" and "spillway culvert." I. DAM - A barrier built across a watercourse for impounding or diverting the flow of water. J. DAM FAILURE - The uncontrolled release of impounded water. It is recognized that there are lesser degrees of failure and that any malfunction or abnormality outside the design assumptions and parameters which adversely affect a dam's 12

17 primary function of impounding water is properly considered a failure. They are, however, normally amenable to corrective action. K. EARTH DAM (Earthfill Dam) - An embankment dam in which more than 50% of the total volume is formed of compacted fine-grained materials obtained from a borrow area. L. EMBANKMENT - Fill material, usually earth or rock, placed with sloping sides. M. EMERGENCY - a condition of serious nature which develops unexpectedly and endangers the structural integrity of a dam or endangers downstream property and human life and requires immediate action. N. EAP - Emergency Action Plan - A formal plan of procedures designed to minimize consequences to life and property in the event of an emergency at a dam. O. EOP Emergency Operations Plan The document which describes the hazards, vulnerabilities, emergency management situations and assumptions that affect the municipality, the concept of operations during an emergency, and the various roles and assignments of the elected officials, emergency management coordinator and other emergency response personnel, whether paid or volunteer. (From PEMA Directive D2007-1). The EOP includes checklists for known critical facilities, special facilities, critical personnel, hearing impaired residents, non-english speaking residents, residents requiring ambulance assistance, etc., as identified by local emergency management officials. P. FACE - With reference to a structure, the external surface that limits the structure, e.g., the face of a wall or dam. Q. FAILURE - An incident resulting in the uncontrolled release of water from an operating dam. R. FOUNDATION OF DAM - The natural material on which the dam structure is placed. S. GROIN - That area along the contact (or intersection) of the face of a dam with the abutment. T. HAZARD - A situation which creates the potential for adverse consequences such as loss of life, property damage, and adverse social and environmental impacts. Impacts may be for a defined area downstream of a dam from flood waters released through spillways and outlet works of the dam or waters released by partial or complete failure of the dam. They may also be for an area upstream of the dam from effects of backwater flooding or effects of landslides around the reservoir perimeter. 13

18 U. INUNDATION AREA The downstream area that would be inundated or otherwise affected by the failure of a dam or large flows. V. INUNDATION MAP - A map delineating the area that would be flooded in the event of a dam failure. W. NOTIFICATION - To inform appropriate individuals about an emergency condition so they can take appropriate action. X. NORMAL WATER LEVEL (Normal Water Pool) - For a reservoir with a fixed overflow spillway crest, it is the lowest level of that crest. Y. OPERATOR The person or position in a company or organization who is responsible for a dam s operation and surveillance. Z. OUTLET- An opening through which water can be freely discharged for a particular purpose from a reservoir. AA. BB. CC. DD. EE. FF. GG. HH. II. OWNER - Any person who owns, controls, operates, maintains or manages a dam or reservoir, water obstruction or encroachment. PSAP Public Safety Answering Point an agency in the United States, typically county or city controlled, responsible for answering calls for emergency assistance from police, fire and ambulance services. SEEPAGE - The movement of water that may have taken place through the dam, its foundation or its abutments. SLIDE - The movement of a mass of earth and/or down a slope. In embankments, backfills and abutments, this involves the separation of a portion of the slope from the surrounding materials. SPILLWAY - A structure over or through which flood flows are discharged. If the flow is controlled by gates, it is considered a controlled spillway; if the elevation of the spillway crest is the only control, it is considered an uncontrolled spillway. SPILLWAY CHANNEL - A channel conveying water from the spillway crest to the river downstream. TOE OF DAM - The junction of the downstream face of a dam with the ground surface. Also referred to as downstream toe. For an embankment dam, the junction of the upstream face with ground surface is called the upstream toe. TOP OF DAM - The elevation of the uppermost surface of a dam, usually a road or walkway, excluding any parapet wall, railings, etc. TRAFFIC CONTROL POINT (TCP) Manned posts established at critical road 14

19 junctions for the purpose of controlling or limiting traffic. TCPs are used to control evacuation movement and also limit entry into the inundation area when an emergency situation requires it. JJ. VOAD Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters collaboration of diverse organizations and citizens trained to meet community needs in the wake of a largescale disaster. 8. EXERCISE AND TRAINING The AWA will advise the Blair and Huntingdon County Emergency Management Agencies of any exercises scheduled and coordinate with the Blair and Huntingdon County Emergency Management Agencies to exercise all or portions of the plan as part of the county's all-hazard exercise program schedule. 9. PLAN MAINTENANCE AND DISTRIBUTION A. This plan will be reviewed every five (5) years by the AWA or the AWA's engineer. During the five (5) year review: 1. The AWA or the AWA's engineer will conduct an on-site review of the flood (inundation) area for any increase in downstream development and revise the Inundation Map, if needed. 2. The AWA's engineer will review and revise surveillance conditions as needed. 3. The AWA will coordinate with Blair and Huntingdon County Emergency Management Agencies if population increase or development within the inundation area could affect the emergency response capabilities. If so, a new or revised plan must be developed. 4. The AWA will meet with and obtain concurrence from the Blair and Huntingdon County Emergency Management Agencies. 5. The AWA will submit eight (8) copies at a minimum of the revised plan to DEP for review and approval. B. A copy of the approved EAP will be distributed to those emergency response agencies listed in Section 4. DEP, Division of Dam Safety will distribute a copy of the approved EAP to PEMA s Area Office, the affected county Emergency Management Agency(s) and PSAP/911 Center(s), the National Weather Service, and the DEP s Regional Office. Within sixty (60) days, the AWA will submit a letter certifying distribution of the approved EAP and posting of NOTICE(s) to the DEP, Division of Dam Safety. 15
