| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The District of Summerland is located on the west side of Okanagan Lake, about 45 km south of Kelowna and 15 km north of Penticton. The Corporation of the District of Summerland owns and operates a number of dams. The dams are used as raw water storage facilities. In April, 2010, the District contracted a Dam Safety Review team from Associated Engineering and Golder Associates to inspect and provide dam safety reviews of the following dams: x Headwaters No.1 x Headwaters No. 2 x Headwaters No. 3 x Headwaters No. 4 x Crescent (Paul) Reservoir x Whitehead Reservoir x Aeneas (Eneas) Reservoir x Tsuh (Deer) Reservoir x Isintok Reservoir x Summerland Reservoir x Garnett (previously Garnet) Reservoir Thirsk Dam, one of the District's two Very High Consequence Dams, was not included in this review, as that dam was rehabilitated as recently as 2007. Headwaters No 1 Dam was inspected in June 1998 and is currently part of a maintenance upgrading program. The Dams impound water within two main watersheds within the District of Summerland water supply system: Trout Creek and Aeneas Creek. A general location plan is shown in Figure 1. The dams were reviewed according to the Dam Safety Guidelines established by Canadian Dam Safety Association, January 1, 2007, as well as the minimum criteria developed by the Ministry of Environment - Dam Safety Branch in 2010, see Appendix D. |
