Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Up to three (3) meetings with DEC staff including a project kickoff meeting, a meeting to review preliminary findings, and a meeting to discuss and review final findings, modeling, and reporting prior to final delivery. 2. Examination and/or collection of all available information and records as necessary in the files of the State Dam Safety Program, available on public websites, available through the owner, or available through Federal Agencies. 3. Perform field reconnaissance activities necessary to complete the project including but not necessarily limited to: a. Inspection of the dams and measurements of hydraulic features. b. Review of the drainage area and any important features. c. Review, documentation, and measurement of important downstream floodway features such as downstream dams (dams in series), bridges, roads, railway embankments, natural hydraulic constrictions, infrastructure, development, etc. 4. Perform design level hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) analyses that include the following: a. Review available/develop reasonable estimates of average baseflow in the drainage areas. b. Develop a computer aided hydrologic model for each dam including development of the 2- year, 10-year, 50-year, 100-year, 500-year, ½ Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), and Full PMF. c. Once the model is reliably calibrated, develop a table documenting the dam crest elevation, principal spillway elevation, normal pool elevation (if different), emergency spillway elevation, simulated precipitation, inflow, unit discharge, outflow, predicted peak water surface elevation, and estimated depth of freeboard or overtopping for inclusion in the summary report. d. If previous H&H studies are available, provide a brief narrative discussing the existing studies and any differences between the existing and current analysis results.
