As the depth of water in the reservoir increased the trajectory of the nappe shifted further away from the reservoir, eroding the exposed and unprotected rockfill embankment beneath the parapet wall. ABOUT US. Taum Sauk Project. Settlement of earthfill embankment dams can reduce freeboard and increase the risk for overtopping. The only good thing about this event is that nobody was killed.

In 2004, a geomembrane liner was installed inside the reservoir to control the leakage within the dike that resulted from cracks in the thin layer of shotcrete caused by differential settlement the dike had experienced during its 40 years of operation. The Taum Sauk upper reservoir sits atop Proffit Mountain, not Taum Sauk Mountain, which is about 5 miles (8.0 km) to the east. (2) Hollenkamp, T., Giesmann, C., & Frerking, M.
