This book was released on 1979 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Falls Pond Dam is an earthfill dam with a vertical stone masonry wall on the downstream face. The dam is a maximum 19 feet high and 185 feet long including main and auxiliary spillways at the south abutment. The main spillway is separated into three bays, each 15 feet long and controlled by a steel tainter gate. The auxiliary spillway is located adjacent to the main spillway and is ungated. Generally, the dam is i fair condition. Th following are deficiencies and visible signs of distress at the site: lack of a low-level outlet for draining the pond; deterioration of the downstream stone masonry wall; slight seepage through a crack on the auxiliary spillway, and at the toe of the main spillway; spalled concrete on both spillways; missing and dislodged riprap on the upstream face of the dam; trees growing on the embankment; and the accumulation of debris on the spillways and in the discharge channel. An outflow test flood of 7,010 cfs will overtop the dam by 3.1 feet. The spillways have the capacity to discharge 55 percent of the test flood before the dam is overtopped.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whiting Pond Dam is approximately 600 ft. long, has a maximum height of 9 ft, and includes a 13-ft. long concrete spillway. The dam is in fair condition, based on a visual examination of the structure. Although some deficiencies were noted, there no evidence of settlement, lateral movement or other signs of structural failure or other conditions which would warrant urgent remedial action. The PMF outflow of 4160 cfs (1015 csm) would overtop the spillway platform by about 2.6 ft. and most of the embankment by 1 to 1.5 ft. With the water at the level of the platform, the spillway (without flashboards) can pass 312 cfs which is 7.5 percent of the test flood.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longwater Pond Dam is a 200-foot long, 10-foot high earth dam. The upstream face of the dam is a vertical concrete wall with earth fill at the toe, and the downstream face is a vertical stone masonry wall. The outlet works consist of a central outlet plus a side channel spillway located to the right of the outlet. The intake to the central outlet is 7 feet by 7.5 feet and controlled by a dual set of stoplogs. The crest of the side channel spillway is 1 foot wide, 85 feet long and 6 feet wide. There are deficiencies which must be corrected to assure the continued performance of this dam. The following signs of distress were noted at the site: absence of riprap on the upstream slope of the dam below the concrete wall; uncompacted earth fill adjacent to the left abutment of the outlet; scoured and eroded concrete on the outlet works; and spalling on the crest of the side channel spillway; cracking and local depressions in the pavement on the crest of the dam. The stoplogs were replaced shortly after the inspection, and the pond level returned on a higher elevation. At a second visit to the site, seepage was noted through the crest of the spillway. The spillway can discharge 50 percent of the test flood.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muddy Cove Pond Dam is approximately 985 feet long including the spillway and has a maximum height of approximately 32 feet. It consists of an embankment with riprap wave protection on the upstream face and a loamed and seeded crest and downstream face. The spillway is located approximately two thirds of the distance across the dam from the left abutment. The facility is considered in good condition. There are no obvious signs of impending failure or conditions which would warrant urgent remedial measures. The estimated test flood stage is about 2.7 feet below the spillway abutments. An investigation is recommended to evaluate the observed seepage at the toe of the dam embankment. Recommended remedial measures include the removal of brush from riprap and along spillway walls, restoration of eroded areas along spillway walls and gatehouse, filling of animal burrows, the monitoring of riprap erosion and seepage at embankment toe, and maintenance of the gatehouse door and reservoir sluice gate.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chartley Pond Dam is a 200-foot long 10-foot high earthfill dam built in the 1800's. A two-lane paved roadway is the crest of the dam while the downstream face includes a concrete wall and portions of the foundations for two structures. The embankment is in good condition but minor maintenance is required. Water discharges through a small outlet controlled by stop logs. An outlet at the dam for a water wheel is blocked and abandoned. An outlet controlled by removable stop logs functions as the spillway for the dam. Hydraulic analyses indicate that the outlet can discharge a flow of 1;70 cfs before overtopping the dam at El 105.6. This discharge represents 14 percent of the outflow test flood test flood discharge of 1,230 cfs. The outflow test flood which crests at EL 107.3 will overtop the dam by 1.7 feet. Draining the pond to El 96.5 prior to the outflow test flood will not appreciably reduce the amount of overtoping. The outlet cannot pass the test flood even with all stop logs removed, and overtopping of 1.2 feet will occur.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prospect Hill Reservoir is impounded by a rectangular, concrete-lined earth embankment. The reservoir, which was built in 1956, measures 604 feet by 274 feet. The embankment is about 1,200 feet long with a maximum height of 25 feet and side slopes at 2:1 (horizontal to vertical). There are two high-level overflow drains and two low-level drains which connect to a single 12-inch outlet conduit. The outlet conduit leads 200 feet downhill to an overflow pond with 1 mil. gal. capacity. The reservoir and embankment are generally in good condition and well maintained. The following deficiencies were observed at the site: growth of trees on the slopes of the embankment, slight leakage from some joints on the conduits, an leakage from a gate valve into the outlet conduit. It was also noted that a greater than expected amount of seepage is occuring in the under drain system. Under normal operating conditions, the reservoir cna discharge 100 percent of the test flood without overflowing the rim.
