S . Army Corps of Engineers , Baltimore District ( NAB ), has been tasked to solicit for and award construction services for the Whitney Point Regulating Outlet ( RO ) Rehabilitation in Broome County , NY . Whitney Point Lake is located along the Otselic River in Broome County , New York . The Dam is located 17 miles north of Binghamton , NY , and less than one mile upstream of the Village of Whitney Point . Whitney Point Dam consists of a 1300 feet long zoned earth filled embankment , transitioning to a 3600 - foot long earthen dike section to the west . The outlet works includes an approach channel , intake structure , tunnel , stilling basin and discharge channel . The spillway includes an approach channel , ogeeweir , and discharge channel . Whitney Point Lake and its regulating outlet ( RO ) serve to partially impound the Otselic River before it joins the Tioughnioga River . This ensures flood risk management to populations downstream while providing a lakeside recreational area near the town of Whitney Point . The Whitney Point RO is nearly 80 years old . The systems are mostly original and are well beyond the end of their design life . Currently , service and emergency gates leak when closed , preventing inspections of the outlet conduits and the control tower ? s concrete structural members . Furthermore , only one emergency gate ( among three emergency - gate slots ) is available to operations dam staff , who must currently assume the safety risk of hoisting it between slots when necessary . The primary purpose of this proposed project is to improve the safety , functionality , and reliability of the Whitney Point RO by demolishing and replacing the hoisted - gate assemblies , which include electrical , mechanical , and structural components . The rehabilitation project is needed to restore the aging system components to ensure safe and fully functional RO operations for a service life of 100 years . The proposed design includes the fabrication and installation of : one new bulkhead , three new service regulating outlet ( RO ) gates , three new emergency RO gates , 15 individual trashracks , one new overhead bulkhead crane ( external hoist ) and structure , one new trashrack lifting beam with sling , three new service RO gate hoists , three new emergency RO gate hoists , new machinery skids , new standby diesel generator , new Dam Secondary Distribution Panel ( DSDP ), new gate hoist receptacles and plugs , new gate hoist assemblies , panel heaters , new motor winding heaters , new RO gate controls , new exposed steel conduits , new exterior lighting , new convenience receptacles , and incidental related work . RO and bulkhead gate work includes survey of existing slot conditions and possible rehabilitation of structural concrete . Prior to removal of the trashracks , all debris directly in front of the trashracks must be removed . Although methods for removal of debris will be up to the contractor , previous debris removal efforts consisted of divers placing cables around logs , then removing debris with a crane .
