The spillway for North Fork Lake Dam will consist of a 1000-ft-wide uncontrolled broad-crested weir excavated in limestone located in the right abutment of the dam. An outlet works consisting of two flood-control and four low-flow inlets will discharge into a hydraulic-jump-type stilling basin and exit channel located on the downstream side of the earth-filled dam. Model investigations were conducted using a 1:80-scale model to develop a design that would eliminate the destructive currents along the toe of the earthfill dam embankment and in the vicinity of the outlet works stilling basin and spillway discharge channel. The model was also used to measure velocities, surging, and flow patterns for several discharges in the approach and discharge channels and to determine the design of a rockfill dike at the upstream left abutment of the spillway. Tests indicated that a 100-ft-long elliptical-shaped dike would be required in the vicinity of the upstream left abutment to provide protection for the dam embankment and retaining wall. The minimum stone size (d???? = 16 in.) required for stability of the upstream rockfill dike was determined from the model. The hydraulic performance of the spillway crest design was satisfactory for a range of anticipated discharges. The model investigation also indicated that additional protection would be required in the exit channel and the San Gabriel River basin to ensure the stability of the dam embankment against scour. Excavation along the downstream right bluff of the spillway exit channel and two rockfill dikes located along the left bank of the San Gabriel River (No. 1 dike) and the dam embankment (No. 2 dike) will provide adequate protection of the dam embankment. The minimum stone size (d???? = 25 in.) required for stability of the two downstream rockfill dikes was determined from the model.
