Brandon Road Lock and Dam is located on the Des Plaines River near Rockdale, Illinois. The project consists of a lock chamber, a dam, and channel walls. The lock chamber is used to raise or lower river traffic between the upstream and downstream pools to navigate past the dam. The lock chamber can raise or lower river traffic a maximum of 34 feet, depending on the river conditions. The dam has an overall length of 2,602 feet and consists of an embankment section 92 feet long, the abandoned Illinois and Michigan Canal lock, an embankment section with concrete core wall 490 feet long, the main lock, an embankment section with concrete core wall 330 feet long, a headgate section 320 feet long with 8 operable headgates and 8 headgates permanently sealed with concrete, an 18 feet wide concrete pier, an abandoned sluice gate section 91 feet in length originally containing 6 sluice gates, and the Tainter gate section 1,231 feet long with 21 Tainter gates. Mass concrete channel wall extends upstream from the dam 2.17 miles on the north bank and 2.33 miles on the south bank.", "riskCharSummary":"USACE completed a risk assessment in November 2020 and classified the risk associated with Brandon Road Lock and Dam as low. The assessment investigated the risks to the project from a failure of the south channel wall due to a barge impact, and a failure of the upper miter gate anchorage resulting in a shutdown of the lock. Although unlikely, a failure at the dam would impact river navigation upstream of the dam only and a lock shutdown was estimated to be short enough to result in no substantial economic damages to navigation. A failure of the south channel wall would inundate residential areas adjacent to and east of the wall and south to the outlet of the dam by more than 6 feet of water. There is no estimated life loss resulting from a failure at the dam, but there is estimated life loss resulting from a failure of the south channel wall.", "riskManagementMeasures":"USACE works to reduce the risks posed to the community by Brandon Road Lock and Dam. USACE operations and engineering staff routinely conduct detailed inspections of the project to ensure the integrity of the lock and dam, identify new deficiencies, and monitor known deficiencies. The dam is well maintained through continuous operations and regular maintenance activities. The dam has a robust instrumentation and monitoring program that allows USACE staff to regularly monitor the dam\u2019s performance under changing river conditions. The dam\u2019s Emergency Action Plan is updated regularly, and the emergency notification charts are updated annually. This plan has been coordinated with state and local Emergency Management Agencies to help improve their dam incident response planning and preparedness responsibilities. Emergency exercises are routinely held with local and state emergency responders and stakeholders to enhance the local communities\u2019 emergency response plans. USACE is developing a detailed communication plan based on the latest risk assessment findings and will engage in communication activities with state and local representatives, stakeholders, emergency managers, and the public to increase awareness.", "riverName":"DES PLAINES", "separateStructuresCount":0, "sourceAgency":"US Army Corps of Engineers", "spillwayTypeId":2, "spillwayWidth":1569, "stateFedId":"IL00001", "stateRegulatoryAgency":null, "stateRegulatedId":1, "structuralHeight":45, "submitDate":"2023-02-16T17:25:09.859Z", "surfaceArea":0, "volume":370000, "widthOfLocks":110, "secondaryWidthOfLocks":null, "yearCompleted":1933, "congDist":"Congressional District 14, Illinois", "city":"JOLIET", "county":"Will", "aiannh":null, "websiteUrl":"https://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Dam-Safety-Program/Article/2870967/dam-safety-program/", "coreTypeIds":"2", "damTypeIds":"11;8;9", "fedConstructionIds":"1", "fedDesignIds":"1", "fedFundingIds":"1", "fedInspectionIds":"1", "fedOperationIds":"1", "fedOtherIds":"1", "fedOwnerIds":"1", "fedRegulatoryIds":"1", "formerNames":null, "foundationTypeIds":"1", "nonFederalDamOnFederalId":0, "designerNames":null, "otherNames":"Brandon Road Pool", "ownerNames":"USACE - Rock Island District", "ownerTypeIds":"3", "primaryDamTypeId":11, "primaryOwnerTypeId":3, "primaryPurposeId":3, "purposeIds":"3", "dsacId":4, "femaRegion":"5", "lastEapExcerDate":"2025-02-04T12:00:00.000Z", "dataUpdated":"2025-02-24T12:00:00.000Z", "usaceDistrict":"Rock Island District", "noConsequencesId":0, "secretaryAgricultureBuiltId":null, "nrcsWatershedAuthorizationId":null, "isAssociatedStructureId":"No", "fedRegulatedId":"Yes", "inundationNidAddedId":1, "damStatusId":2, "huc06":"071200", "doi_region":null, "doi_region_name":"Great Lakes", "doi_region_number":3 }, "id":2314017, "links":[ { "type":"application/json", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=json" }, { "type":"text/html", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=html" }, { "rel":"self", "type":"application/geo+json", "title":"This document as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/2314017?f=json" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"application/ld+json", "title":"This document as RDF (JSON-LD)", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/2314017?f=jsonld" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"text/html", "title":"This document as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/2314017?f=html" }, { "rel":"collection", "type":"application/json", "title":"USACE Access2Water API", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr" } ] }
