The locks and dam are located near Wheeling, West Virginia about 84 miles downstream from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The dam is concrete and includes a fixed concrete spillway and 9 gated bays through which the river flows. The locks provide a lift of about 21 feet, from the pool downstream of the dam (lower pool) to the pool upstream of the dam (upper pool). Beyond the right side of the dam is flat ground that allows access for fishing. The locks allow river traffic to travel upstream or downstream of the dam. The locks include a main chamber that is 1,200 feet long and 110 feet wide and a second, auxiliary chamber that is 600 feet long by 110 feet wide. The lock chambers are adjacent to each other and are formed on each side by concrete walls and steel gates on the upstream and downstream sides. The pool created by the dam also provides water supply for municipal and industrial intakes, and recreational purposes. The total benefits to the region are more than 540 million dollars annually. The dam does not provide the nearby communities with any protection from flooding.", "riskCharSummary":"USACE completed a risk assessment in 2018, which characterized the risk posed by the dam as low. This assessment identified two primary scenarios that could cause the dam to fail, which would release water from the upper pool: 1) A runaway barge could become trapped on the dam which could prevent one or more dam gates from closing; and 2) the river could erode the soil of the fishing access area on the right side of the dam, to the extent that the river could bypass the dam and flow around it. Either of these scenarios, although very unlikely, could result in a loss of the upper pool, to the extent that river traffic would be halted. If the upper pool was lost, the main primary consequences would be the temporary loss of shipping and water supply, which would damage the regional economy by more than 540 million dollars per year. The economic damage would be temporary, until the upper pool could be restored to allow resumption of shipping and water supply. Downstream flooding would not be expected if the dam were to fail, and the upper pool was lost.", "riskManagementMeasures":"To ensure all steps are being taken to reduce the risk to the economy, we conduct emergency exercises with our external partners to improve communications and reactions in the event of an emergency that threatens the dam\u2019s upper pool or that may adversely affect shipping. We regularly update our emergency action plan. We also communicate with the Coast Guard, the Waterways Association, and the shipping industry to keep them aware of conditions at the dam and the changes to the lock operations. We conduct routine monitoring and surveillance of the riverbed and lock and dam. We closely follow rainfall forecasts and river levels to determine when high river events may occur, in order to provide information for any necessary public or industry notifications. We also maintain good communications with industry to remove barges that may run aground near or on our dams.
