Subject: RE: Joynt /Woodson preliminary plat
Dear Mr. Perez:
I have reviewed my files on the Sugar Hollow Dam. It is a High Hazard Dam, requiring a spillway capacity equal to the
PMF (without overtopping the dam). The dam has that capacity. In addition, in reviewing the subdivision plan it
appears the residential structures are out of the dam break inundation zone. Thus, the development does not alter the
Hazard Class of the dam. Nor, does it require the dam owner to expand the spillway capacity of the dam. The developer
has no responsibility to finance % the cost of a spillway capacity expansion.
Be well,
Robert J. VanLier, P.E.

The most common dam name in the US national inventory is: Smith Lake Dam.
The oldest dam in the US national inventory was built in 1677. Do you know which State it is in?
The tallest dam in the world has a height of 335 meters. It is an earth and rockfill dam.
The world's oldest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordon. It is dated to 3000 BC.

Robert,
Thanks for the voicemail, as discussed attached is the preliminary subdivision plat depicting the proposed
subdivision of 7 new residential lots, 1 residue residential lot, and 2 special lots (not to have dwelling built in
them). As discussed the lots locate building areas outside of the DBIZ.
I look forward to your correspondence on this.
thanks
