spillway means a structural component of a dam over or through which water from the impoundment is discharged to downstream receiving waters. If the discharge is controlled by gates or valves, it is considered a controlled spillway; if the spillway crest is not mechanically operable, it is considered an uncontrolled spillway. The “principal spillway” sets the normal elevation of the impoundment and conveys normal flows from the impoundment to the downstream waters. An “Auxiliary Spillway” supplements the discharge of the principal spillway during less frequent flood flows. The term “Emergency Spillway” has been replaced by Auxiliary Spillway, however either term indicates a spillway with a higher crest elevation than that of the principal spillway.
spillway means a structure used for controlled releases from a stormwater or process water impoundment, in a manner that protects the structural integrity of the impoundment.
