WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife SE 2022-5
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Okanogan County has issued a Shoreline Exemption to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to repair the spillway of Little Green Lake.
The project proposes to construct an auxiliary spillway so that the dam can follow Department of Ecology Dam Safety spillway requirements for high risks dams with a downstream population at risk. The dam is classified as having a downstream hazard classification of 2D (1 or 2 inhabited structures at risk. US National Dam website states that the dam was built in 1959 for the purpose of fish propagation. The auxiliary spillway was identified on the original dam design dating back to 1958 as shown in the 2019 Periodic Inspection Report by DOE Dam Safety. The auxiliary spillway is shown to be approximately 32 ft wide and 3 ft deep, however it was not located during the last onsite inspection by DOE Dam Safety. This means that it was either never built or has filled in overtime with sediment. The spillway must be rebuilt to current safety design standards and will be approximately 96 ft. wide by 33.3 ft long. The spillway will be constructed with articulated concrete matting (ACM) to control the downstream flow in the event of a 500-year flood event.
The project is located on Little Green Lake, parcel number 3425131005 Township 34 North, Range 25 E.W.M. in Section 13 approximately 5 miles westerly of Okanogan, WA.
