Engineering Ltd 115 West Washington Street Suite 1368 South Indianapolis IN 46204 Dear Mr Beik Hacker Jester Associates has completed the inundation map for Crooked Creek Dam To finish this task the team collected hydrologic data and performed a hydrologic analysis on the watershed We determined that the water overtops the dam by 2 7 feet during a 24 hr Probable Maximum Precipitation PMP using HEC HMS The team modeled a dam breach due to overtopping which resulted in a peak reservoir outflow of 8 185 cfs The outflow was used in HEC RAS in conjunction with ArcGIS to create the inundation map The team has also completed the slope stability analysis of Crooked Creek Dam Available soil parameters and dam data were obtained from a report titled Proposed Dam Rehabilitation Improvements Crooked Creek Dam Burgess Niple 2004 and verified by us With this information we computed the factor of safety of the downstream slope stability using the program XSTABL We found that the factor of safety is 1 80 which is considered acceptable since it is greater than 1 50 We enjoyed working with you and would like to thank you for considering us for this project and for your help throughout the analysis

Hulman Institute of Technology Hacker Jester Associates i Geotechnical and Hydrological Solutions Executive Summary Christopher B Burke Engineering Ltd CBBEL is developing an Emergency Action Plan EAP for eighteen state owned high hazard dams in Indiana In the state of Indiana a high hazard dam is defined as a dam whose failure would cause loss of life and or significant property damage To compile the EAPs CBBEL selected Hacker Jester and Associates to complete the key component a detailed inundation map of Crooked Creek Lake Dam located within Yellowwood State Forest so that our client could create an Emergency Action Plan Yellowwood State Forest is in Brown County Indiana which is approximately 50 miles south of Indianapolis Hacker Jester Associates performed a breach analyses on the dam sunny day and design flood created downstream inundation maps completed a slope stability analysis on the backside of the dam and assessed different spillway design options to prevent the dam from overtopping during the design flood The inundation map shows that the residential development south of the lake is not affected by the design storm during the dam breach The design flood for this dam as designated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is the probable maximum flood PMF resulting from the 24 hour probable maximum precipitation PMP The hydrologic model result shows that the 24 hour PMP produces a peak outflow of over 19 000 cubic feet per second a total outflow volume of over 800 acre feet and a peak storage of over 270 acre feet during the PMP design storm The results of the hydraulic model show that none of the three bridges will be overtopped in the event of a dam breach during either the sunny day or the PMP design storm However there were homes immediately downstream of the dam that will be flooded The slope stability analysis shows that the dam is stable with a factor of safety of 1 80 which is greater than the required 1 50 factor of safety Hacker

Indiana Department of Natural Resources has contracted Christopher B Burke Engineering Ltd CBBEL to prepare detailed dam breach inundation mapping for two of eighteen state owned high hazard dams in Indiana Due to financial constraints the remaining sixteen dams will receive breach inundation mapping that are based only on a rule of thumb flood wave height determination method To make the most of the state funding that is available CBBEL has contracted with Hacker Jester Associates to perform detailed dam breach analysis under their supervision on the Crooked Creek Lake Dam and Yellowwood Lake Dam Both dams are located in Brown County Indiana Yellowwood Lake Dam is located within the Yellowwood State Forest The second and smaller dam Crooked Creek Lake is located approximately five miles south of Yellowwood State Forest Yellowwood State Forest is in Brown County Indiana which is approximately 50 miles south of Indianapolis Figure 1 1 The nature preserve is 23 200 acres in size and contains many geographic features including hills streams and a large recreational lake Yellowwood Lake Figure 1 2 has a dam that has been classified as high hazard by Indiana Department of Natural Resources IDNR The second dam Crooked Creek Lake Dam has also been classified as being high hazard by IDNR In the state of Indiana a high hazard dam is
