The failure at Taum Sauk and the associated forensic investigation has added greatly to the profession’s understanding of how dams behave and fail. By chance alone, loss of life was averted and only four people sustained injuries as a result of the Upper Reservoir failure. <<5D47C87F16D9B84EB6C6A6F04C5F2221>]>>

The only good thing about this event is that nobody was killed. As a result, the reservoir’s 4,300 acre-feet volume of stored water was released from a 656-foot-wide breach in 25 minutes, traveling down Proffit Mountain toward the Black River with a peak discharge of 273,000 cfs. On December 14, 2005, near the end of the morning pumping cycle, both the primary reservoir sensors and the “fail safe” Warrick probes failed to report the critical high water level in the reservoir because the probes had been incorrectly set at a higher elevation than the low point on the parapet.

As a result, the pressure transducers’ ability to report accurate water levels was hindered, and lower water levels were being recorded than actually existed. Later investigations into the failure revealed that overflow at the northwest section of the dike began at 5:09 A.M. Flow over the parapet wall of the Upper Reservoir during failure resembled that over a broad crested weir and initially fell on the three feet of outboard wall footing that surrounded the dike. %%EOF

Construction of a new Upper Reservoir for the Taum Sauk Pump Storage Plant took place from 2007 to 2010. The new system consisted of three pressure transducers in high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes anchored to the concrete layer with a programmable logic controller to initiate shutdown if necessary. First, the system programming was altered to report the water level within the reservoir lower than the instrument’s actual readings, in order to avoid the false positive measurements that the pressure transducers were reporting. In 2004, a geomembrane liner was installed inside the reservoir to control the leakage within the dike that resulted from cracks in the thin layer of shotcrete caused by differential settlement the dike had experienced during its 40 years of operation. 0000079887 00000 n
