Description:Excerpt from The Armour Engineer, Vol. 11: The Quarterly Technical Publication of the Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois An independent 24-inch line was to be run to the Portsmouth Navy Yard, while the Norfolk and Portsmouth, Berkley and Suffolk systems were to be tied in by a 20-inch subaqueous line across the eastern branch of the Elizabeth River. In this way it would be possible to augment Norfolk's supply by a pumpage of 5,000,000 gallons per day and assist her in supplying the demands of the immense army and navy bases, hospitals and other government projects. Further provision was made for placing a venturi meter at both Norfolk and Berkley ends of the subaqueous 20-inch supply line, so that the demands of Norfolk could be metered or vice versa in case of a breakdown on the Portsmouth, Berkley and Suffolk end. This project is then strictly a government enterprise brought on by war time needs. The construction work was divided into the Suffolk District, comprising divisions A, B, C and D, and the Portsmouth District including divisions E, F. G and H. The work and scope of these divisions will be described in further details under their respective headings. Division "A"-Lake Cohoon Dam. Lake Cahoon has a drainage area of 30.1 square miles, which, when raised from elevation 10.0 to elevation 2S.0 will provide a reserve of 1,700,000,000 gallons. The dam and spillway arc located bn the southern end of the lake. The spillway presents some unique features of design, inasmuch as it is perhaps the only one of its kind in existence, instead of the usual type whereby the downstream side is made ogee shaped, it was broken up into a series of cascade (see Fig. I). This reduces the excessive pressure on the earth foundations by spreading the base. It is 300 ft. long and contains 2,000 ubic yards of concrete with 49.5 tons of reinforcement. A cort-: rete corewall was built containing 600 cubic yards of concrete md 22,500 square feet of rip rap, having side slope of 4.1.
