Submitted Illustration
A graphic representation of the Swan Lake dam spillway after the flashboards and vertical gate are installed, seen from downstream. The spillway is 105 feet across at the crest and 14 feet deep, while the new water path will be 23 feet across for the vertical gate. Spanning 78 feet, the flashboards collapse by design to protect the dam's integrity during extremely large flood events.
