Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, completed a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to assess the potential hazard to human life and property associated with the hypothetical failure of the Lago El Guineo Dam. The Lago El Guineo Dam is within the headwaters of the Río Grande de Manatí and impounds a drainage area of about 4.25 square kilometers. This geospatial dataset in shapefile format, guineo_24hr_pmp.shp, contains the maximum inundation limits resulting from hypothetical dam failure of the Lago El Guineo Dam, under a 24-hour probable maximum precipitation recurrence rainfall event.

Purpose

The National Dam Safety Program and the Puerto Rico Inspection and Regulation of Dams and Reservoirs Program require each dam owner to prepare an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The EAP requires hydrologic and hydraulic analyses of the dam to assess the potential downstream hazard to human life and property. To fulfill this need, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed hydrologic and hydraulic analyses of the Lago El Guineo Dam in Orocovis, Puerto Rico, in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA). This spatial dataset resulted from the study. The purpose is to provide access to the shapefile as a data release.
