PROJECT PROFILE D'Appolonia reviewed dam safety con- cerns at Muleshoe Dam related to geo- technical and hydrology/hydraulic is- sues. The earth embankment dam is approximately 520 feet long and 66 feet high. The upstream and downstream average slopes are approximately 2.5H:1V and 1.6H:1V, respectively. The 260-foot-long, concrete spillway channel narrows from 66 feet to 40 feet as it drops at an average 26 percent grade. The spillway
