摘要

Martis Creek Dam was constructed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1972 for flood control and potential water supply. Initial geotechnical investigations identified potential seepage issues and the dam was constructed according to accepted practices at the time with measures to mitigate those issues. During subsequent test fillings of the lake, significant seepage developed beneath the left abutment of the dam and on the hill side downstream of the dam. This is understood to be due to groundwater flow through coarse glacial deposits beneath the dam's foundation. In 2007, the US Army Corps of Engineers began a series of subsurface investigations of the dam and vicinity to improve knowledge of the geology. The investigations used conventional drilling as well as geophysical techniques to expand subsurface knowledge. A marker bed in the Prosser Creek Formation locally referred to as the "Blue Silt" was used to tie in observations from across the site. A synthesis of the borehole and geophysical data has permitted a refinement in the understanding of the groundwater flow beneath the dam. Data indicates the presence of a paleochannel eroded into the Prosser Creek Formation filled with coarse glacial outwash deposits beneath the left abutment. This channel is suspected of being the major seepage pathway beneath the dam's left abutment. Investigations have also improved the knowledge and definition of a recently discovered transform fault that passes between the dam and the spillway.
