Jamieson, Stephen L., France, John W. and Perri, Peter P. CM/GC construction of Guanella Dam.Journal of Dam Safety - Summer 2004 (V. 2 N. 3)Paper describes the fast-track design, permitting, and construction approach that was utilized to developa new water supply reservoir for the City of Golden, Colorado. The fast-track approach resulted in thecompletion of the entire project in a little more than one year, which was two years ahead of schedule.Innovative approaches and the cooperation of the SEO, contractor, engineer, and owner were requiredbecause of the ongoing drought in Colorado, which essentially shut down Golden's water supply at itsmost severe period during the late summer of 2002. Guanella Dam is a high hazard potential, offchannel,zoned-embankment dam with a maximum vertical height of 34'.Geographic interest: ColoradoSubject terms: design, construction, permits, geotechnical investigations, seepage control, case studies,embankment damsSchultz, Mark. Dam performance during the San Simeon earthquake. Journal of Dam Safety -Summer 2004 (V. 2 N. 3)On December 22, 2003, a M6.5 earthquake occurred near California's central coast, seven milesnortheast of San Simeon. This was the largest earthquake in California since the 1999 M7.1 Hector Mineearthquake. Only four other earthquakes, since 1906, caused more expensive damage. Shaking was feltup and down the California coast, from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, with continuing moderateaftershocks as large as M4.9. Dams, roads, bridges, and other modern infrastructure generallyperformed very well in this seismic event. The majority of damage occurred in Paso Robles, where 40buildings collapsed, or were severely damaged, and two fatalities tragically resulted. Federal, state, andlocal disasters were declared. Approximately 1,500 homes suffered minor damage, and approximately500 homes and businesses were seriously damaged. About 60,000 homes lost power. Twelve stateregulateddams, one Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) dam, and seven small military dams experiencedstrong shaking with an estimated peak ground acceleration greater than 0.10g. Paper summarizes damperformance and damages to various structures.Geographic interest: CaliforniaSubject terms: earthquakes, seismic analysis, seismic behaviorJohnson, Brian S. Performance-based design of an urban spillway. Journal of Dam Safety - Fall2004 (V. 2 N. 4)The Standley Lake Dam Improvement Project began in 1999 to help ensure that the dam successfullytransitions to address the changes that have occurred over its 96 years of operation. A significantembankment raise in 1965, suburban development, advances in dam engineering technology, andincreased local, state, and federal regulations have all contributed to the challenges of maintaining thefacility as a critical regional resource for another 50 to 100 years. This paper describes the project, whichwas completed in October 2004.Geographic interest: ColoradoSubject terms: spillways, design, spillway capacity, hydrology, design flood, developmentSchellhammer, Chris, Roberts, Thomas I. and McClellan, Phillip.
