This dam is classified as Category I High Hazard. Control of water was handled by drawing down the existing lake, cofferdam installation at the crest of the existing spillway and localized pumping to mitigate ground water. A Rapidmix 600 pugmill mixer was used to mix the RCC. The RCC was transported via articulated dump trucks discharging into a Gomaco material transfer devise, which fed a stacker conveyor belt. A telescoping crane was used to receive the RCC and conveying it to the final placement location.
