The North Dakota State Water Commission retained the services of Apex Engineering in May of 2016 to study the hydrology of Queen City Dam. Queen City Dam was classi\ufb01ed as a high-hazard dam owned and maintained by the City of Dickinson. The purpose of the project was to provide a hydrologic analysis of the dam to determine dam safety and to perform subsequent dam-break modeling.<\/p>
The primary use of Queen City Dam is as a recreation facility. The principal spillway is an uncontrolled drop inlet. The riser structure is a 9 foot by 5-foot concrete box, with a headwall against the upstream face of the dam, resulting in a weir length of 23 feet.<\/p>

The Queen City Dam study resulted in the following:<\/p>

The dam does not meet the auxiliary spillway criteria for a Class IV dam as required by the North Dakota Dam Design Handbook.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
