SECTION A

DESIGN OF DEBRIS DAMS AND BASINS

A-l Basin Design

A-l.l General
The volume of debris to be impounded shall be the amount generated from
the watershed upstream of the selected site as indicated on the debris
production curves.

Generally, the bottom of the basin shall be established at the average slope
of the original stream bed. If extensive excavation below stream bed level
is a design requirement, an inlet structure shall be provided at the upper
end of the basin to prevent erosion of the stream bed upstream of the basin.

The cut slopes of the excavated basin shall be no steeper than that
recommended by the soil engineer in his subsurface investigation report.
Extensive cut slopes shall be protected against erosion from surface runoff
from the surrounding area above by a "IT1 shaped protective gutter
(Type B) around the perimeter of the cut area. (See Figure 1, page 1-6).
The basin design shall include an access ramp to the bottom of the basin
from the crest of the dam for debris removal purposes.

The sizing of the basin to contain the volume of debris to be impounded

by the dam is accomplished by trial and error. The designer should be
aware that certain dams as defined in the "Statutes and Regulations
Pertaining to Supervision of Dams and Reservoirs" published by the
State Department of Water Resources, Division of Safety of Dams, will
fall under the jurisdiction of the State.

A-l.2 Basin Capacity

The required debris capacity for design of the basin shall be determined
from the Debris Production Zones and the Debris Production Curves
developed by the District and shown on pages 1-1 through 1-5. Because
it is possible to have drainage area conditions which may affect the
use of the curves, it is recommended that confirmation as to application
of the curves be obtained from the District.
A-l.3 Debris Volume

The calculations for the debris volume shall be based on the assumption
that the debris will be deposited in such a manner that the debris slope,
sloping upstream from the spillway crest, will be equal to 50 per cent of
the average slope of the original stream bed for the total length of the basin
site.

A-2 Earth Dam Design

A-2. 1 General

Tlie height of the dam is measured vertically from the spillway crest to the j
natural bed of the stream or watercourse at the downstream toe of the dam. 1

The stability of the earth dam under various conditions which may exist ?

following construction is a prime concern in the design of the slopes for the |
dam’s earth embankment. It has been the experience of the District that
3:1 slopes for the upstream and downstream faces of the dam are usually
stable even under the most adverse conditions. Steeper slopes may be :
approved by the District if their stability is demonstrated to be adequate
when analyzed in accordance with accepted design criteria for small dams.

An area of approximately 1, 200 square feet (30 x 40) should be provided i.

at the top of the dam for a shelter house and parking adjacent thereto.

A-2. 2 Foundation and Abutments

Preparatory to construction of the earth dam, the ground shall be stripped ;i

of all vegetation and other organic material. In addition, any trash,
debris, soft or compressible material or other objectionable material
unsuitable for support of the dam, whether disclosed by the subsurface
r:
investigation or discovered during stripping shall be excavated as directed
by the soil engineer and approved by the responsible agency's inspector. t:

A-2. 3 Percolation Path at Dam Contact Areas

The horizontal length of the path of percolation between embankment and

abutments and foundation shall be of such length as to be consistent with
limitations for percolation and piping based upon existing local soil
conditions and type of embankment material to be used. The District has
found that, as a general rule, a minimum path of percolation ratio of
8 to 1 is satisfactory (8 represents the level length of path along the contact
and 1 represents the corresponding head differential between the elevation
of upstream end of path and the maximum elevation of the basin water
surface). This condition should be satisfied for any horizontal plane through
the embankment above the contact of the bottom of the basin and upstream
slope of embankment.

A-2. 4 Crest of Dam

The crest of the dam shall be 20 feet wide (measured parallel to the
center line of the spillway) and shall have a minimum rising slope
from the spillway walls to the abutment equal to 60 per cent of the
average grade of the natural stream bed, unless otherwise approved by
the District. (See Figure 2, page 1-7). It shall be graded to form a
"V" shaped surface 6 inches deep at the center and paved with 3 inches

D. B. Man.
 Page A-3

SECTION A
Continued

of asphaltic concrete. A 4-inch diameter hole shall be provided in

the spillway wall for drainage at the low point of the "V" shaped
crest of dam.

A-2. 5 Protection for Dam Slopes

A-2. 5. 1 Upstream Face

The upstream face of the earth dam shall be protected with a 6-inch
thick (measured normal to slab) reinforced concrete facing slab unless
otherwise approved by the District. The reinforcement for the concrete
slab shall be No. 5 reinforcing bars at 18-inch centers in both directions
placed in the center of the slab. The reinforcement shall be. continuous
through all construction joints and shall be spliced by lapping 20 bar
diameters. Construction joints shall be parallel or at right angles
to the center line of spillway and shall be spaced not more than
50 feet nor less than 10 feet apart. The slab shall be extended on
the same slope to a depth of 5 feet below the bottom of the basin
as well as to to the bottom of the outlet works excavation. The slab
shall also be extended into the abutments for a minimum of 2 feet.
(See Figure 3, page 1-8).

A-2. 5. 2 Downstream Face

The downstream face of the dam shall be protected from erosion by

placing some type of protective covering such as planting or matting.

A-2. 5. 3 Slope Protection Gutter

"Un shaped gutters (Type B) shall be placed at the re-entrant contact

of two planes of fill or the intersection of compacted fill and natural
ground. (See Figure 1, page 1-6).

A-3 Access to Dam and Basin

A 28-foot wide access road (two 12-foot lanes and 4-foot wide gutter)
with adequate wearing surface, cross drains, and gutters shall be
provided from the nearest public street into the basin area to permit
removal and hauling of storm deposited debris. The access road
shall be cross sloped towards the 4-foot wide gutter. The road grade
downstream of the crest of dam shall not exceed 10 per cent; however,
if such grade for some valid reason is not practicable, a grade of
15 per cent shall not be exceeded. Grades steeper than 10 per cent
shall be paved with 3-inch A. C. The access ramp into the basin
from the crest of dam shall be 20 feet wide on a grade not to exceed
10 per cent. No paving or gutter will be required for this portion
of the access road.

D. B. Man.
 Page A-4

SECTION A
Continued

A-4 Access Road Gutter

The 4-foot wide drainage gutter for the access road shall he constructed
of gunite, concrete, or A. C. The 4-foot wide gutter shall be so shaped
as to be maintainable by use of mechanized equipment and be without a
sharp drop so as to be safe and drivable for traveling vehicles. Details
of an A. C. access road gutter are shown in Figure 1, page 1-6.

A-5 Earthwork for Debris Dams and Basins

The earthwork for debris dams and basins shall be in accordance

with Section 300-6 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction, 1973 Edition.

A-6 Gage Board Pipe Supports

On the upstream side of dam on the same side as the access road,
2-1/2 inch diameter galvanized standard pipes shall be embedded
in the facing slab for future installation of gage boards by the
District. The pipes shall be 5 feet 6 inches long and project 4 feet
7 inches above the surface of the facing slab. They shall be placed
in a straight line, usually parallel to the center line of the spillway,
and so placed as to have a difference of 4 vertical feet between the
pipes at the surface of the facing slab. The lowest pipe shall be
set at an elevation one foot below the elevation of the bottom of
the debris basin and the uppermost pipe at an elevation within
4 feet of the elevation of the crest of dam at the spillway wall.
Details of a gage board pipe installation are shown in Figure 4,
page 1-9.

A-7 Debris Barrier

A-7. 1 General

A debris barrier shall be provided upstrearn of the spillway to prevent

large debris from entering and clogging the spillway and/or the conduit
downstream of the spillway. This is usually achieved by placing a
series of vertical members in the concrete facing slab so as to form
a protective screen around the spillway entrance. A typical layout
is shown on Figure 2, page 1-7.

The debris barrier shall be designed considering the barrier to be

100 per cent plugged and acting as a submerged sharp crested weir.
The freeboard between the crest of dam and basin water surface
upstream of the debris barrier shall be a minimum of two feet.

D. B. Man.
 Page A-5

SECTION A
Continued

A-7.2 Location and Spacing of Barrier

The debris barrier shall be placed upstream of the spillway and no closer
than six feet from the intersection of the spillway invert slab and the
concrete facing slab.
The top of the barrier members shall be placed one foot below the basin
water surface elevation required to pass the design Q (burned and bulked)
through the spillway.
The barrier members may be spaced up to four feet apart but in no case
shall be more than two-thirds of the width of the conduit at the down­
stream end of the spillway.
A-7.3 Design of Barrier Member

The debris barrier shall be assumed to be 100 per cent plugged and the
members designed for an equivalent fluid pressure of 62.5 psf. The
loading can be considered as temporary and the allowable stresses
increased by one-third.

The barrier member shall be assumed to be restrained laterally by the

concrete facing slab and the embedment length shall be determined by
use of the following formula developed by E. Czerniak:

L = 1.85 Mo

where:
L = Length embedment in feet
R = 300 psf/ft. depth (a constant)

Mo = M

M = Moment applied to barrier in foot pounds

d = Diameter of pipe encasement in feet

A-7.4 Selection of Barrier Member

The barrier member shall be selected so that the required section

modulus is satisfied along the weak axis and may be of a structural
steel shape, pipe, or square tubing. If a hollow member is selected,
it shall be filled with concrete.

A-8 Right of Way

A-8. 1 General

Sufficient right of way shall be provided for the construction and

economical maintenance of the dam and basin and shall include
sufficient area to provide for an access road from a dedicated
public street to the basin.

A-8. 2 Right of Way Limits

Right of way for the basin shall include the area encompassed by
the contact points of the debris surface contours with the existing
ground based on a theoretical debris slope, sloping upstream from
the spillway crest, of 75 per cent of the average slope of the original
stream bed for the total length of the basin site. In general, the
contours of the theoretical debris surface shall be assumed as straight
lines at right angles to the center line of the spillway and/or the
basin and stream bed, depending on the shape of the basin involved.

The right of way for the access road from a dedicated street shall be
•wide enough to provide for a 28-foot wide road as described in
Section A-3.

A-9 Fencing

Adequate fencing, enclosing the limits of the debris basin, shall be

provided to discourage unauthorized persons from entering the area.
Said fencing shall conform to District Standard Drawing No. 2-D 178
(see page 1-29).

A-10 Debris Disposal Area

A debris disposal area, of sufficient storage capacity subject to District

approval, shall be provided within an economical hauling distance
from the debris basin.

SECTION B

SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION REPORT

B-l Field Investigation

Prior to District approval of plans and specifications for a proposed

debris basin, a subsurface investigation shall be made to obtain and
present sufficient information about the soil, ground water, and
foundation conditions on the project for the proper design of
structures with minimum construction problems and low operation
and maintenance costs. The subsurface investigation shall be
planned and supervised by a registered civil engineer experienced
in soil mechanics.

prepared by the soil engineer in accordance with the following
requirements shall be furnished to the District at time of submittal
of plans for the debris basin. The report shall contain findings and
supporting information regarding the following items:

1. The types of materials to be encountered in the

proposed excavations or borrow site.

2. Anticipated excavation problems.

3. Location and extent of required over excavation.

4. Slope and excavation stability.

5. Bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of

subgrade materials.
6. Suitability of excavated materials (including bedrock)
for use as fill, backfill, and bedding.

7. Required relative compaction of fill and backfill

materials.

SECTION B
Continued

B-2. 2 Detailed Recommendations

Specific, detailed recommendations with supporting data shall be included

for such items as, but not limited to, stability of cut slopes; excavation
in bedrock; necessary depth of stripping or overexcavation in areas
. to be covered by fills to minimize settlement; subdrains or toe drains
and the gradation requirements for required filter and drain materials;
stability of proposed dam embankment under the various conditions
that may exist following construction, with due allowance for seismic
loading and seepage; inlet structures as needed to prevent unacceptable
erosion of stream bed material upstream of the basin; stability of
natural slopes; erosion prevention treatments, including plants,
drainage devices, or erosion resistant covers for cut and fill slopes,
including the downstream face of the dam, and for the crest of the dam.

Field observations of items which can affect the construction operations,

such as surface water flow, springs and seeps, bedrock outcroppings,
trash dumps, existing wells or tunnels, large concrete blocks, etc •*
shall be recorded in the report.

All field, laboratory, and office information shall be submitted on

8-1/2" x 11" sheets or on sheets folded to that size.

B-3 Exploratory Borings

B-3.1 Location and Number of Borings

Borings shall be drilled at least at the following locations:

1. Proposed dam foundation.

2. Each dam abutment.

3. Along alignment of outlet pipe.
4. Borrow area.

5. Proposed inlet structure and outlet tower, etc.

6. Proposed cut slopes for access road and basin.
A boring may be located to furnish information for more than one of
the areas listed above. On the other hand, it may be necessary to
drill borings at locations not listed above but which are necessary to
provide complete subsurface information.
D. B. Man.
 Page B-3

SECTION B
Continued

It may be possible to reduce the number of borings needed by the use

of supplemental information obtained by seismic or electrical
resistivity methods. However, it will not be permissible to replace
the drilling of borings entirely with geophysical methods.

B-3. 2 Depth of Borings

The minimum boring depth shall be as follows unless firm bedrock is

encountered at shallower depths:

1. Borings in the foundation of the proposed dam shall be

drilled to firm material, bedrock, or to a minimum
depth equal to the height of the dam at the crest. If
soft or loose materials are found at this depth, drilling
shall be continued until firm material is reached.
2. Borings at the abutments shall extend to firm material
suitable for support of the dam.

3. Borings in borrow areas or in proposed cut slope areas

shall extend at least five feet below the proposed
excavation line.

4. Borings at locations for structures shall extend at least

five feet below structure subgrade. If water is encoun­
tered, the boring shall be drilled at least ten feet below
structure subgrade.
B-3. 3 Type of Borings

The word ’’boring" as used herein shall include borings by drill rigs,
holes, pits, or tunnels dug by hand-held equipment or by equipment
such as bulldozer, backhoe, or clam bucket.

Borings shall be drilled dry, if possible, by using buckets, augers,

or similar tools to facilitate examining, sampling, and logging the
materials as encountered. The use of drilling mud should be
avoided if casing can be used. Continuous flight helical augers may be
used only as the last resort to drilling where other methods have failed.

elevations, seepage, approximate per cent rock encountered, ease of
drilling, type and depth of soil or rock sample, caving, running sands,
trash, and any other useful information. Pertinent information as
indicated in Column 6 on Drawing No. 2-D 413 shall be included.
Descriptions and group symbols shall be consistent with results of
laboratory classification tests. The elevation of proposed excavation
subgrade, etc., shall be shown graphically on the log. Exploratory
borings shall be identified with a numbering sequence increasing
upstream.

The boring locations shall be shown on a recent topographic map to a

scale not less than 1" = 100’. Boring locations may be referenced in
terms of coordinates if such a system is available or by offsets and
the stationing along the center line of the basin or spillway. The
elevation of the ground surface at each boring location, the date
each boring was drilled, and method of drilling shall be included.

B-4. 2 Ground Water

The logs of borings shall indicate the depth at which ground water was
encountered. Any change in the ground water level during drilling shall
be noted. If water was not encountered, a statement to that effect shall
be included.

B-5 Samples

Samples representing each type of material encountered shall be obtained

in each boring. Both undisturbed and bulk soil samples of each type of t
material shall be obtained if reasonably possible. In cases where all
or most of the soil in a boring is of one type, there shall be no less than
two representative undisturbed and bulk soil samples taken from each
boring. When very firm soil or a large rock mass (not boulders) is
encountered within the proposed excavation for a structure or cut which
cannot be penetrated by normal soil boring equipment, core samples
shall be obtained.

map, prepared on a topographic base map of sufficient scale to show
detail, yet not overly limited so as not to show important geologic
features in close proximity to the project. A sufficient number of
geologic cross sections should be submitted with the map to show
correlation of all subsurface data, from test borings and other
sources, with surface data.

The location, of all subsurface data shall be indicated in the text of the
report as well as on all maps and cross sections. In addition, a copy
of the geologic logs for each test boring or other sources of subsurface
data shall be included in the text, or appended thereto.
Geologic logs of borings shall contain a lithologic description of the
geologic character of each stratum, the depths at which changes in
the character of materials are observed, the thickness of the strata,
and depth to water (where applicable).

The engineering geology report shall, in the text, contain findings and
supporting information for, but not limited to, the following:

1. Type and extent of in situ rock and/or unconsolidated

surficial deposits to be encountered.

2. Structural features.

SECTION E
DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR SPILLWAY

E-l Hydraulic Design

E-l. 1 Spillway Design Q's

The District will provide assistance in the determination and/or confir­

mation of design Q's upon request provided a suitable drainage map of
the area is submitted. It is recommended that confirmation of design
Q's be obtained from the District prior to start of design.
E-l. 2 Spillway Requirements

The width of spillway and height of spillway walls at the crest shall be
determined by use of the broad crested weir formula with the coefficient
of discharge C = 2. 80. The spillway shall be sized to pass the District's
capital flood Q with an allowance made for increased flow due to a burned
watershed and the inclusion of bulking of the flow caused by inorganic
debris with the appropriate freeboard or the greater of "Creager's Q"
(see page 1-11) or the probable maximum precipitation (PMP) Q with zero
freeboard whichever requires the higher walls. Downstream of the crest,
the spillway walls shall contain the above mentioned flows with their
respective freeboards as far downstream as the toe of dam embankment.
The height of spillway walls shall not be less than 6 feet and the convergence
of the walls shall not exceed 5 degrees for each side of the spillway or
10 degrees for total convergence. The floor of the spillway upstream of
the crest shall slope down at a 3 per cent grade toward the basin for drainage.

E-l. 3 Freeboard

The minimum freeboard at spillway crest shall be 2 feet or equal

to 25 per cent of head differential from the spillway crest to the
water surface in the basin, whichever is greater.

Downstream of the crest, the minimum freeboard shall be 2 feet for

average flow velocities of 35 fps or less and 3 feet for average flow
velocities greater than 35 fps.

E-2 Structural Design

E-2. 1 Method of Design

Consideration shall be given in each individual project to the conditions
of soil, ground water level, slope of adjacent ground surface and live
loading, existing or proposed.

D. B. Man.
 Page E-2

SECTION E
Continued

The design of the spillway structure shall consider seismic forces

and provide for active earth load pressures as calculated by the
Coulomb theory plus additional pressures resulting from application
of horizontal and vertical accelerations to the sliding wedge.

Two analyses shall be made of each section, empty and flowing full.
The spillway structure shall be considered as a "U" channel and be
designed as a rigid frame.

E-2.2 Horizontal Loads

E-2.2. 1 Spillway Empty

Spillway walls, regardless of height, shall be designed for a lateral

soil force applied on the earth face of the wall equivalent to:

P = 1/2 wH2 [K + 3/4 (a/g)]

where:
P = Total lateral force, pounds per lateral foot of spillway wall

w = Soil density, pounds per cubic foot

H = Wall height, feet

K = Coefficient of active earth pressure, abstract number

a = Horizontal ground acceleration, feet per second per second

g = Acceleration due to gravity, feet per second per second

2
The active soil pressure represented by 1/2 KwH shall be applied at a
point 1/3 H gbove the base and the dynamic force represented by
3/8 (a/g) wH2 shall be applied at a point 2/3H above the base. It is
recommended that a value of 1/3 the acceleration due to gravity be
used for the horizontal ground acceleration. Curves showing moments
and shear for the above loading (earth plus dynamic) are shown on
page 1-12.
Where existing, the effect of a sloping surcharge on the lateral soil
force shall be taken into consideration. It may be advisable to increase
the width of berm adjacent to the spillway wall to prevent excessive
earth loads due to sloping surcharge.

 Page E-3

SECTION E
Continued

E-2.2.2 Spillway Full

Spillway walls, regardless of height, shall be designed for 40 psf equivalent

fluid pressure applied on the water side to top of wall. This assumes
active resistance from the soil outside the walls, or allows an increase
in stresses for short time loading should active pressure not exist.
Moment and shear curves for 40 psf equivalent fluid pressure are
shown on page 1-12.

E-2. 2. 3 Stability and Sliding

E-2. 4 Soil Pressure

Soil pressures on "U" channels shall be computed considering the invert

slab as a beam on an elastic foundation (see "Beams on Elastic Foundations
by M. Hetenyi, University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, Michigan,
1946). Design information and curves showing moments and soil pressures
in "U" channels are included herein, pages 1-13 through 1-28. When the
width of channel is less than the minimum values shown on the curves,
uniform soil pressure shall be assumed.

The outlet works consist of an outlet tower, base, and an encased

outlet pipe which extends under the dam from the outlet tower
and usually outlets into and is joined to the spillway with a junction
structure. Hydraulically, the system shall be designed for non­
pressure flow-at maximum head with a discharge of 150 cfs.
The flow shall be regulated by the size of the opening at the base
of the tower. The slope of the outlet pipe shall not be less than
5 per cent in order to maintain the system free of silt deposits,
unless otherwise approved by the District.

F-2 Outlet Tower

The tower shall be a reinforced concrete structure which may be

constructed by either pouring the concrete in place or by guniting.
Unless otherwise approved by the District, the requirements for
the tower shall be as follows:

1. The inside diameter shall be 5 feet and the wall thickness

shall be 6 inches.
2. The openings in the wall of the tower shall be rectangular
in shape, 24 inches long and 4 inches wide on the outside
face and tapered to 5 inches wide on the inside face.
Eighteen openings shall be equally spaced around the
circumference.
3. The height of the tower shall be determined by locating it
at the lowest point of the debris basin and constructing it
to a height that shall project at least 1 foot above the
theoretical debris slope.

4. The tower shall be located so that it is away from the direct

line of flow between the inlet to the basin and the spillway.

5. The tower shall have safety collars set 9 feet apart vertically
and a removable cover with an access manhole set on top of
the tower for maintenance purposes.

6. A smooth transition to the outlet pipe shall be provided in

the base of the tower.

F-3 Outlet Pipe

The reinforced concrete outlet pipe shall not be less than 36 inches
in diameter* encased in concrete, sufficiently reinforced to prevent
cracks, and be provided with cutoff collars to prevent piping along the
pipe encasement. The length of the encasement shaE be from the outlet
tower base to the junction with the spillway wall. In cases where the
junction with the spillway wall is downstream of the toe of the dam
fill, the 36-inch reinforced concrete pipe is not required to be encased
between the downstream toe of the dam fill and the junction structure
at the spillway wall. Details of the outlet pipe, encasement, and steel
reinforcement are shown on Drawing No. 2-D 404, page 1-30.

The subgrade for the outlet pipe encasement or outlet pipe shall be
over-excavated by 2 feet 6 inches unless the subgrade is on bedrock.
In cases where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the District that
the subgrade is on bedrock, the subgrade shall be at the bottom of
the concrete encasement. The details as shown on Drawing
No. 2-D 404 shall be revised accordingly.
