(UPI) — The Grayrocks Dam does not meet accepted Corps of Engineers safety standards for large dams with high hazard potential, although the problem is not described as serious, an independentinspection report says. Under Corps genes, the dam, which stores cooling water for the 1,500-megawatt Laramie River Station power plant, should have been designed to withstand a “‘probable maximum flood’’ in the drainage area. High Country News, a conservation publication in Lander. reportedin its Oct. 30 issue. Instead, the dam was designed to meet the “probable maximum thunderstorm” standard, and meets only 78 percent of the tougher ‘‘flood’’ standard, High Country News reported. However, the Corps does no! consider a dam unsafeit if can meet 50 percentof the srobable maximum flood, the publication said. The inspection report said the situation ‘should not be considered serious. though it is somewhat less than desireable.” Grayrocks is listed by the governmentas a “high hazard” structure because of a ‘high potential for damageorlossoflife in the eventof failure,” High Country News said. Several ranches and Fort Laramie National Historic Site are located downstream. Lingle and Torrington, Wyo., and several Nebraska communities are located in the floodplain, the publication said. The dam is 96 feet high and has a storage capacity ota768 acre feet of water, High Country News aachen Nickel, an engineer with HoskinsWestern-Sonderregger Inc. of Lincoln, Neb., conducted the inspection. “The warning and evacuation plan does not take into consideration the possibility that a probable maximum flood could occur which would exceed the capacity of the spillways in the subsequent overtopping and failure of the dam,” he said. ‘‘Such a failure would create a flood wave in the downstream floodplains significantly higher than the level caused by runoff from the storm. “Property and lives would be threatened bythis ood . It is recommended that boundaries of the flood zone also be established based on the breaching of the dam.” Nickelsaidit is “‘unusual”’ for a dam aslargeas Grarrocts not oe to meet the “probable maximum ood" High comaey: Newsreported that John Balog, dam safety engineer for the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, said cost was one reason for not requiring the tougher standard.
