PDH's: This webinar is eligible for 2 PDH credits.

Essential to dam design and dam safety is the reliable assessment of hydrometeorological hazards such as extreme precipitation events and associated flooding. The traditional methods for assessing these hazards, such as estimation of Probable Maximum Precipitation, assume stationarity in risk over time and into the future. However, the climate at global, national, and local scales has become clearly non-stationary in recent decades, and there is increasing evidence that climate change is affecting key aspects of extreme events and storm environments. The best available science indicates that these changes and their overall impacts on extreme precipitation will become even larger over the next several decades.

In this webinar, we will first review the physical mechanisms that govern extreme precipitation events, the state of the science on the observed and expected changes in these mechanisms, and the overall effects on extreme precipitation events in the U.S. Then, we will describe how key federal agencies and others in the dam safety community have responded to these risks from a changing climate by reconsidering traditional practices, conducting pilot studies, and issuing new guidance. We will conclude by outlining potential pathways for dam safety programs and dam owners to incorporate climate-change risk into regulation and practice, highlighting recent experience in the states of Colorado and New Mexico.

Key Take-aways:
*Learn how assumptions of climate stationarity are embedded in current practice.
*Understand the physical mechanisms that govern extreme precipitation.
*Learn about the state of scientific knowledge on climate change and its anticipated effects on extreme precipitation.
*Learn about some of the responses by the dam safety community to the challenges posed by a changing climate.

|abstract=

The February 2017 incident involving both the principal and auxiliary spillways of Oroville Dam in California brought considerable attention to potential failure modes associated with both structural and unlined spillways. Based on the lessons learned from this event and the subsequent findings of forensic investigations, many dam owners initiated their own spillway assessments.

The goal of this webinar is to provide information to help engineers inspect and assess spillways. It will explain the different types of spillways, discuss their performance requirements, and provide a general historical evolution of typical spillway construction features with an emphasis on common vulnerabilities of older spillways and best practices and defensive measures for modern spillways. Deficiencies and weaknesses in historic spillway designs and how the integrity of spillways can change over time will be highlighted. Checklists to help practitioners identify potential physical factors that can contribute to the failure of structural and unlined spillways will be presented. Recommendations and warning signs for inspectors are discussed.

Key Take-aways:

#Understanding different types of spillways and their limitations.
#Historical evolution of spillway construction details.
#Common vulnerabilities of existing spillways.
#Modern spillway defensive measures.
#Approach to inspecting and assessing spillways.

|abstract=

This course reviews the applicability of the wide range of specialty geotechnical construction techniques used in rock and soil foundations under dams and levees. These techniques are employed to provide seepage reduction and improve soils susceptible to seismicity or are otherwise too weak to sustain embankment rebuilding projects. The world of grouting alone is very wide, ranging from rock fissure and void grouting to permeation and compaction grouting in soils. The Deep Mixing Methods (DMM) are similarly diverse and are used to form cut-offs and shear panels for both seismic and static improvements. So-called “positive” cut-off walls are constructed by several methods, including the use of clamshells, hydromills, and secant piling. Each of these techniques is described, illustrated by major U.S. dam and levee remediation case histories.

Key Take-aways:
*Appreciation of the wide range of potential solutions and techniques available.
*Understanding of the pros and cons of each technique.
*Appreciation of the logistical and practical challenges of each technique.
*Increased awareness of dam safety strategies during construction.
*Understanding an indication of rough order of magnitude costs.
*Awareness of the scope of market activity.

|abstract=

This webinar will review the history of dam safety governance development in the US from 1876 to present day. The governance development timeline will place key failures and incidents into perspective and show how such events triggered state and federal laws and the development of risk analysis methods and best practices that form a key cornerstone of dam safety practice in the US today. A key discussion during the webinar will be the concentration of dam failures that occurred in the 1970’s that led to the development of federal guidelines for dam safety, as well as the founding of ASDSO. Key failures, including Lower San Fernando Dam, Teton Dam, and Kelly Barnes Lake Dam, which resulted in almost 600 fatalities and over $1B in damages, will be discussed.

The origins of risk analysis related to dams and dam safety trace back to the mid-1960’s. The initial vision for risk that was presented as part of the 2nd Terzaghi lecture (delivered by Arthur Casagrande in 1965) will start our exploration of the risk analysis and risk assessment timeline embedded within the overall US dam safety governance system. The provision for risk analysis that was embedded within the first federal guidelines for dam safety and the Reclamation Safety of Dams Act of 1978 (PL 95-578) will be discussed, along with how risk analyses emerged within various federal agencies (USBR, USACE, TVA, and the FERC) and the expanding role of risk within state dam safety programs.

Key Take-aways:
#Key Failures and Incidents timeline.
#Dam Safety Governance timeline.
#Factors leading to the formation of ASDSO and USSD.
#Risk analysis and assessment timeline.
#The risk analysis pioneers (Casagrande, Whitman, USBR).

Rehabilitation of dams may involve access to the upstream side of the dam. Under such conditions, management of the river to keep the upstream area dry for construction activities is required. Cofferdams are typically used to capture river discharges and route to the bypass. Cofferdam design typically involves agreed upon criteria that is a balance between performance and cost, requiring an evaluation of risk specific to a site. Many cofferdams have failed by breaching during construction of dam projects, mainly by having the design flood exceeded.

|abstract=

This two-hour webinar builds upon a previous webinar given in 2015 and highlights the results of recent research and policies developed with respect to plant and animal intrusions into dam and levee embankments. Intrusions by plants and animals into water-retaining embankments have long been of concern for potentially degrading the integrity of these structures. Concerns have ranged from the potential for increased seepage and concentrated leak erosion to reducing the overall embankment cross-section due to tree blowovers. However, successfully managing such intrusions has often been difficult. Recent research provides improved insight on the relative risks of such intrusions as well as where they might be expected and potential mitigation methods for them. The guidance provided in this webinar continues to support the removal of all woody vegetation from embankment dams, particularly those embankment dams that commonly retain water. However, more nuanced approaches are outlined for the management of woody vegetation on levees. Specific remediation measures are discussed for both plant and animal intrusions together with their likely success.

Key Take-aways:
*Myths and misunderstandings about the effects of woody vegetation on dams and levees – what does recent research tell us.
*Improved understanding of tree root architecture and potential impacts on embankment integrity and how current one-size-fits-all management schemes will not be successful.
*Recommended phased/tiered approach for managing woody vegetation.
*Improved recognition of the consequences of animal burrowing – the embankment termites of dams and levees.
*Alternatives for the management and mitigation of animal burrowing.

Earthquakes represent a significant hazard to dams in many parts of the United States and the world, and are a key consideration in the safe design and construction of dams. A key aspect of earthquake risk mitigation for dams is reliable seismic analysis of the expected performance of dams under earthquake loads. Significant advances have been made by the dam engineering profession in the seismic analysis of dams over the past several years. This webinar will provide an overview of the the fundamentals of seismic analysis of embankment dams and discuss current trends in the analysis of seismic stability and deformations. The webinar will provide dam engineers and dam safety officials with basic knowledge of seismic analysis of embankment dams and an overview of recent developments in analysis methodologies for the seismic safety evaluation of such dams.

Key Take-aways:
*Overview of past performance and the potential effects of earthquakes on embankment dams.
*Understanding of available approaches for the seismic stability evaluation of dams.
*Basic knowledge of dam and material characterization requirements for reliable seismic evaluation of dams.
*Understanding of procedures for the analysis of seismic stability and deformations of dams.
*Overview of current trends for the seismic analysis of embankment dams.

This course will discuss the impact of uplift on concrete dams and spillways, the benefits of drainage, the design of drainage systems, and the evaluation of drainage systems. Case histories related to drainage issues at concrete dams and spillways will also be presented. Potential failure modes and considerations for risk analyses will be discussed. Some of the topics that will be presented include: 3D seepage effects on uplift, effects of grouting on pressure reduction, failed waterstops and cracks in concrete, using piezometric measurements to evaluate drainage and uplift, filters for drains, drain cleaning, and the design and evaluation of supplemental drainage.

Key Take-aways:
#Drainage is a first line of defense against instability.
#Drains can lose effectiveness over time.
#Care must be taken when grouting under reservoir head to prevent increasing uplift.
#Careful evaluation of uplift and drainage systems is required for dam safety evaluations.
#Ineffective drainage has contributed to the failure of concrete dams and spillways.

This webinar will begin with an overview of hydraulic grade lines and head losses associated with outlet structures and spillways for dams. The hydraulic structure must be designed to carry the planned flow for the expected head and tailwater conditions. Selection of the most appropriate hydraulic outlet structure depends upon the design discharge and the controlled head where the controlled head is the change in water surface elevation that will occur as discharge passes through the structure.

It is important that the inlet be sized adequately to supply water to the spillway. The outlet conditions also affect the head-discharge relationship. The outlet must be sized properly so that the tailwater is deep enough to assist in energy dissipation, but not be located

Key Take-aways:
*Basics of hydraulic gradelines and the impact of headlosses.
*Concept of hydraulic control and factors that can impact the location of the control.
*Learn what inlet and outlet control represent.
*How performance of the spillway changes over life of the structure.
*Effect of tailwater submergence on the outlet conduit.

|abstract=

This webinar will provide owners, consultants, and regulators an understanding of the benefits and limitations of an SQRA, what the results mean, and how the results can be used to prioritize actions in your dam or levee safety program. Dam and levee safety risk analyses have been gaining more and more attention over the last few years. Risk analysis training, in general, and SQRA training, in particular, is becoming more available. Recently FERC published draft SQRA guidelines for public comment indicating a proposed expansion by that agency into using risk tools. Other federal agencies with dam and levee safety programs are also expanding the use of SQRAs in their programs as are a handful of state dam safety agencies. The growth of the use of SQRAs as a dam and levee safety tool is expected to continue to increase in the coming years.

Key Take-aways:
*How can I scale and scope an SQRA to fit my needs?
*How can simplified risk tools help me identify and prioritize my dam safety activities and actions?
*Cost vs. benefit, is an SQRA worth it?
*What information do I really get out of an SQRA that I don’t already have?
*How can the process of conducting an SQRA and the results be useful to a regulator?

|abstract=

Drilling into, in close proximity to, or through dams, levees, and their foundations may pose significant risk to the structures. Damage created by hydraulic fracturing and other means during the drilling process (use of inappropriate drilling methods), improper in-situ sampling techniques, and/or unacceptable methods of completing (backfilling) borings can open seepage paths that could create conditions conducive to internal erosion (piping) and ultimately dam failure. This webinar will provide an overview of existing guidance for drilling in and near embankment dams and their foundations. Of special emphasis will be the identification and assessment of drilling hazards for the prevention of damage to the embankment, structures, and their foundations from hydraulic fracturing, heave, erosion, filter/drain contamination, or other mechanisms during drilling-related activities. The webinar will also describe the typical requirements of a site drilling plan for any exploration drilling, instrument installation, or remediation drilling (including grouting) work to occur on an embankment dam, in proximity of the dam in which the drilling methods could pose a risk to the dam, or the dam’s foundation and abutment.

Key Take-aways:
*Drilling activities can cause damage to embankments and their foundations.
*Drilling and exploration methods can create potential hazards for embankments and foundations. Identification and evaluation of potential drilling hazards.
*How to develop plans to mitigate, manage, or avoid the risks from drilling hazards.
*Site drilling plans should be prepared and reviewed that address the potential hazards and risks from drilling activities.

Dam engineering involves dams, but is done by and for people. As a result, in order to achieve dam benefits while maintaining dam safety, we need to understand not just dams, but also the people involved in designing, constructing, operating, maintaining, and benefiting from them. Social scientists have been studying people scientifically for more than a century, and we are now at a point historically where the social sciences have generated valuable insights into human thought and behavior.

The aim of this webinar is to describe key socio-psychological insights and apply them to the practice of dam engineering, with an emphasis on judgment and decision-making. We will find that judgment and decision-making are influenced by aspects such as subconscious and conscious cognition, perception, belief, memory, self-concept, use of heuristics, cognitive and motivational biases, emotions, and group dynamics, and expertise, all of which contribute to both human capability and human fallibility.

This webinar will explore all of these aspects, will include extensive audience participation, and will provide evidence-based suggestions for how we can improve our judgment and decision-making at both individual and group levels. The insights and suggestions presented in this webinar will be linked with the instructor's prior work on human factors to provide an overall framework for dam risk management.

Key Take-aways:
*Understand the physical, social, and evolutionary context in which dam engineers operate.
*Learn about the two main ways in which people “think.”
*Learn about the socio-psychological factors which contribute to human fallibility and limitations, as well as human capabilities.
*Learn ways to improve judgment, decision-making, and risk management in dam engineering.

This webinar will involve the presentation of the Delhi Dam failure case history. Delhi Dam failed on July 24, 2010 during a record storm. The failure was a result of a number of factors all contributing to the ultimate failure. The review of dam failure by a forensic team allowed for a good understanding of the mechanisms that led to failure. Analyses were performed, which provided valuable insights into the weight of the contributions from the key factors. This webinar will describe in detail the history of Delhi Dam prior to the failure, a chronology of events leading to dam failure, studies and analysis performed as part of the forensic team efforts, and the findings and recommendations from the forensic team report.

Five Learning Objectives of This Webinar:
*Compounding mechanisms can increase the chance of a dam failing.
*Loadings that have never been experienced before at a dam can reveal deficiencies.
*Deferred maintenance on key features can contribute to dam failure.
*Early warning can prevent, or at least reduce, life loss from dam failure.
*In-depth evaluations of dam failures can provide valuable insights into case historie

In this webinar, Utpal Sandesara and Tom Wooten will discuss their book, No One Had a Tongue to Speak: The Untold Story of One of History’s Deadliest Floods. The course will cover the social causes and social consequences of the 1979 failure of the Machhu Dam-II in Gujarat, India. The flood wiped out dozens of villages and the industrial city of Morbi, killing at least 5,000 people. The course will cover the technical causes of the dam failure, the managerial problems that allowed design flaws to go unchecked, and the many ways the flood upended lives in the Machhu River Valley.

Key Take-aways:
*Dam collapses can have terrible social consequences.
*Dam collapses also have social causes: there is no such thing as a “natural” disaster.
*This disaster, like most disasters, emerged not from one mistake but from a cascade of them.
*Covering up causes of engineering disasters does the profession and the public a disservice.
*The case shows how crucial it is to take dams seriously: ASDSO members do vital work.

While there have been many notable dam failures throughout the past century, the failure of Teton Dam in 1976 led to significant changes at the Bureau of Reclamation, in the Federal Government, and in the dam engineering industry. This course will provide information about the dam, the failure, ensuing investigations, and the changes that were implemented in the years that followed.

Key Take-aways:
*The failure of Teton Dam was significant in defining the importance of dam safety and dam safety policy.
*The death toll could have been far worse if the timeline had unfolded differently.
*A dam failure brings extraordinary scrutiny upon the dam owner.
*While the failure was catastrophic, significant positive changes in the industry were initiated.
*Human factors play a key role in most if not all incidents/failures - we can’t just focus on technical issues.

|abstract=

Erodibility of dam foundations, spillways and other water conveyance structures is a critical issue for the safe operation of dams world-wide. The February 2017 events at the Oroville spillways that resulted in the evacuation of nearly 200,000 downstream residents were a recent reminder of the need for meaningful quantification of scour. The course will offer examples of rock scour events impacting the safety of dams as well as provide an overview of scour mechanisms including discussion of key geologic controls and hydraulic drivers of the scouring process. Methods that can be reliably used to predict and assess such scour will be demonstrated, which include the Erodibility Index Method, a semi-empirical approach, and a more physics-based approach utilizing Block Theory. Both methods analyze the engineering properties of the rock mass and quantify the erosive capacity of flowing water based on principles of hydraulic engineering. These methods will be explained and their use illustrated by example. Finally, incorporation of high-resolution remote sensing tools in scour applications will be explored.
*An understanding that scour of rock is a dam safety concern that requires meaningful quantification.
*An understanding that it is possible to predict the scour potential of rock using data normally available for dam design.
*An understanding that high-resolution remote sensing and monitoring can facilitate improved scour assessment.
*An understanding of processes and key drivers/controls for scour of rocks.
*An understanding of rock scour analysis.

This is the second of a two-part series on overtopping protection systems for embankment and concrete dams. Many dams today have insufficient spillway capacity and may be overtopped during large floods below the regulatory requirement. In recent years, dam overtopping protection has become increasingly popular as a means to provide additional flood release capacity when more conventional methods such as increasing spillway discharge capacity or reservoir storage are cost prohibitive or impractical. This course will present the process of evaluating protections systems for use in spillway applications. A summary of determining appropriate project hydraulic conditions will be followed by a brief history of prototype research conducted on multiple types of protecting technologies. Results of these tests will be presented in support of design methodologies where new methods for determining project FOS and numerically evaluating hydraulic jump system performance will be recommended. Procedures outlined in NRCS NEH Part 628 Chapter 54, “Articulated Concrete Block Armored Spillways” will be presented in an effort to show a standardized evaluation approach whereby permitting evaluation of multiple protection system technologies. The presentation will conclude with an example of a design application.

Key Take-aways:
*Understanding of important spillway analysis techniques and design parameters.
*Familiarization with prototype testing protocols for steep slope applications.
*Necessity of selecting the appropriate design method.
*Ability to evaluate project requirements across multiple protection techniques.
*Guidelines for submittal requirements necessary for alternative analysis.

This is the first of a two-part series on overtopping protection systems for embankment and concrete dams. Many dams today have insufficient spillway capacity and may be overtopped during large floods below the regulatory requirement. In recent years, dam overtopping protection has become increasingly popular as a means to provide additional flood release capacity when more conventional methods such as increasing spillway discharge capacity or reservoir storage are cost prohibitive or impractical. This course will present many of the overtopping protection systems currently in use, describing for each their range of design applications, construction considerations, and potential limitations and risks. Using FEMA’s 2014 Technical Manual: Overtopping Protection for Dams as a guide, the two most commonly used systems today, roller-compacted concrete (RCC), and articulating concrete blocks (ACB) will first be presented, followed by various reinforced concrete, turf, and rockfill alternatives for embankment dams. The course will conclude with special applications for concrete dams. Part 2 explores the performance of various systems in hydraulic model studies.

Key Take-aways:
*Exposure to wide range of potential overtopping protection systems for dams.
*Case histories of design applications and performance.
*Limitations of use, including infrequent operation and/or low hazard conditions.
*Advantages of one system relative to the others, including cost.
*Current research and development of new systems or system refinements worldwide.

This course is intended to provide guidance on the proper selection and installation of waterstops for hydraulic structures. This course will discuss the various types and applications of waterstops and discuss the necessary design constraints such as site constraints, joint types, head pressures, and concrete clearances and cover. The course will emphasize the need for thorough structure detailing to ensure proper clearances and placement location are specified. The use of 3-dimensional modeling techniques will be discussed as a visualization technique to better detail complex joints. Most deficiencies regarding waterstops occur with the installation of the waterstops. Therefore, this course will highlight proper and improper installation placements and welding techniques. The course will discuss the benefits of using manufacturer welded unions, having properly-trained waterstop installers, input from the waterstop manufacturer, and having trained inspectors.

Key Take-aways:
*Importance of proper joint design and waterstop selection, installation, and inspection for concrete water-retaining structures.
*Waterstop types for concrete structures (e.g. PVC, hydrophilic, retrofits,etc.).
*Waterstop selection based on joint type, head pressures, and clearances/cover.
*Waterstop detailing on construction documents and visualization techniques.
*Tips for waterstop installation including proper and improper waterstop placement.

This webinar will start with the most basic seepage concepts and finalize on actual evaluation of piezometric data for earth dams and levees. Simple basic seepage ideas using high graphic illustrations will be the means to teach all concepts in this webinar. Also, numerous difficult concepts will be fully explained using high graphic simple illustrations. For example, this course will also provide unique insight into how seepage changes with simple geologic layer variations. A procedure for evaluating time based piezometric data versus reservoir data will be presented and it represents the only comprehensive method — the conventional procedure is to plot the data and then just look at it. This course also provides concepts for observing the potential for backward erosion using actual piezometric data. New procedures and standards for data presentation of field based piezometric data versus reservoir level will also be shown.

Key Take-aways:
*Participants will gain a deep understanding of the most basic seepage concepts that are not taught at universities or short workshops.
*This is the only procedure for evaluation of field measured piezometric data versus reservoir level trends.
*The backward erosion process can potentially be observed using time based piezometric data assessment.
*Participants will learn best practice methods for graphical presentation of piezometric data.

|abstract=

Internal erosion causes about half of all failures of water-retaining earth embankment dams. Similar statistics apply to levees. Internal erosion occurs when the hydraulic loads imposed by water seeping through the pores or flowing through cracks and openings in the soils in embankments and their foundations generate erosive forces sufficient to overcome the resistance to erosion of those soils. The knowledge of internal erosion processes has advanced significantly over the past two decades. The two volumes of ICOLD Bulletin 164 (ICOLD 2017, ICOLD, 2016) reflect the results of a group of international experts to collect information from experience, case histories, and research to provide guidance on internal erosion for engineers in dams and levees. The accumulation of knowledge led to the definition and understanding of the mechanics of the four modes of internal erosion. This understanding of internal erosion mechanics makes it possible for engineers to estimate the hydraulic load that will likely cause internal erosion to failure. The mechanics of the modes of internal erosion (mechanisms) can be combined with the internal erosion pathways through embankments and their foundations to developed detailed descriptions of potential failure modes (PFMs). If desired, these detailed PFM descriptions can be used in quantitative risk analyses. This webinar will include discussion of all of the concepts described above, with reference to how the Bulletin provides a reference to the application of these concepts in dam safety evaluations and risk analyses.

Key Take-aways:
*Exposure to the international knowledge concerning internal erosion reflected in ICOLD Bulletin 164.
*Understanding of the four mechanisms of internal erosion (IE).
*Understanding of how IE mechanisms combine with pathways to create potential failure modes.
*Improved ability to estimate IE erosion risks, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
*Improved ability to identify vulnerabilities to internal erosion for existing dams and levees.

Potential failure modes analyses (PFMA) was first used in dam safety over twenty years ago. Although thousands of PFMA workshops have been conducted since it was first introduced, the use and application of PFMAs is still mostly limited to larger federal agencies and occasionally by others on larger projects. PFMA is a tool and a framework to evaluate dam and levee safety. It has fundamentally changed the way many now approach assessing and solving dam and levee safety issues. It’s the first question asked by some prior to deciding if actions or expenditures are warranted – “So what’s the potential failure mode?” The PFMA process has evolved over the years with new twists, ideas, and improvements to the process. Still, improvements are needed, some of which have been pointed out in the Oroville Spillway Independent Forensic Team Report. Preparation, process, and team composition remain key factors in the success or failure of a PFMA. This webinar will provide examples (both good and bad) and some suggested guidance.

Key Take-aways:
*A brief overview of the evolution of the PFMA process,
*A snapshot of where we are today in conducting PFMAs (the good, the bad, and the ugly),
*A discussion of common pitfalls in preparing for and executing PFMAs,
*A summary of some of the essential elements of a successful PFMA, and
*Some thoughts on the future of PFMAs and how they might be scaled down for smaller projects.

This course is based on 50 years of NRCS experience with investigating and remediating cracked earth embankments. The presentation consists of two main sections, covering 1) the nature of soil cracking and the associated internal erosion failure modes; and 2) how to remediate cracked earth embankments. In the first section, general information is presented on which soils are most susceptible to cracking and which pose the greatest risk for failure by internal erosion. The most common causes of cracking are identified, along with descriptions of the associated cracking mechanisms and patterns. In the second section, the two main approaches to repairing cracked embankments are presented: the “cutoff” approach and the “filter” approach. Real life examples of each are presented. The use of geotextiles in repairing cracked embankments is discussed, including several case histories and an analytical procedure to design geotextiles to span open cracks. Finally, the issue of cracking of granular filters is discussed in terms of its incidence, risk, and prevention.

During recent years the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology for the inspection and monitoring of dams and levees has increased. This rate of integration is, in part, due to FAA regulation revisions and the advantages regarding personnel safety, flexibility, speed and volume of data acquisition, and cost.
This webinar presents an overview of drones and how this technology can be incorporated into dam safety inspections and evaluations. Although drones are a cost-effective and efficient contribution to inspections, there are regulatory requirements for use and challenges with data acquisition—things to know before you fly. These include various flight rules, authorizations, accuracy requirements, flight strategies and site conditions, shadowing, and handling and processing large amounts of geospatial data.

This webinar presents insights into these challenges and common pitfalls to encourage the appropriate use and application of this emerging technology. This webinar also highlights the advantages of drone technology, why it is well suited to dam and levee safety applications, and how it can complement and provide new approaches to observe and inspect dams and levees. Included is a selection of recent site inspections that incorporated drone technology to successfully gather information and allow an inspection team to more safely and efficiently observe areas that are not accessible or difficult to access.

|abstract=

Oroville Dam is the tallest dam in the United States. On February 7, 2017, a section of the concrete chute slab of the service spillway failed during spillway discharge, and several days later the emergency spillway was activated for the first time in the half-century history of the dam, resulting in rapid and severe erosion of the hillside below the emergency spillway weir, and prompting precautionary evacuation of nearly 190,000 downstream residents. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission mandated a forensic investigation of the incident. This webinar will serve as a “Part 2” continuation of a prior ASDSO webinar, “Findings of the Oroville Dam Spillway Forensic Investigation,” which presented an overview of the findings by the six-person Independent Forensic Team. It will also expand on the discussion of human, organizational, and industry factors contributing to the incident, beginning with the design of the project and continuing until the decision-making during the incident response.

Many dams and levees have embankment drains, structure underdrains, and relief wells to control seepage through and beneath the dam and piezometers to monitor the performance of these features. Dam and levee owners, managers, and maintenance staff may be uncertain about the function of these features and what maintenance is required. This webinar will summarize seepage principles and terminology in layman’s terms and describe the purposes and function of relief wells, drains, and piezometers. Examples will be shown of the types of deterioration and damage that can occur. Procedures for evaluating monitoring data and inspecting, testing, and repairing drainage features and piezometers will be be presented. Experienced professional guidance is needed to avoid damage, but much of the work can be performed by the local maintenance personnel using common equipment and home-built tools.

Key Take-aways:
*Seepage principles and terminology.
*How piezometers, relief wells and drains work and what can go wrong with them.
*Equipment and procedures to evaluate and rehabilitate drainage features and instruments.
*What parts of the work can be done by local maintenance staff.
*Examples of unseen problems disclosed during evaluations.
