Per a recent Engineering Inspection Report of Morris Sheppard Dam, it is recommended that a seismic analysis of the dam be completed using induced seismic loading and the latest information from USGS. Also, it is recommended that a hydrographic sedimentation survey should be completed.
Estimated Request for Proposals: FY27 Q2
Per a recent five year inspection of Morris Sheppard Dam, it was recommended to evaluate the erodibility of the spillway and downstream drop-offs, and perform a head cut analysis to understand the likelihood of head cutting if the emergency spillway is engaged.
The rip rap and benching on the upstream east embankment are deteriorating. Repairing the rip rap and investigating the soil cement has been recommended. BRA will evaluate the upstream slope protection at Sterling C. Robertson Dam to determine maintenance and/or repair options.
Large or high-hazard dams must undergo a probable maximum flood (PMF) analysis. This project will include a study to determine potential dam loads and stresses for future evaluations and to assess downstream impacts.
