This book was released on 1978 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crest is generally grassy and the downstream slope is heavily overgrown with trees and shrubs. The upstream face is riprapped above water level and to a depth of about 3.0 feet below the normal water surface. The spillway is located in the center of the embankment and is roughly semicircular and contained between vertical masonry walls. The spillway is constructed of cut stone masonry and flows discharge onto a slab paved with stone blocks leading to a natural stream bed. This dam is considered to be in POOR condition. The visible signs of distress which indicate a potential hazard at this site are: large, wet, spongy areas generally along the entire right toe and lower slope of the dam embankment indicative of seepage; an extremely steep downstream slope; a dense large growth of trees and shrubs on the downstream slope; the small storage capacity of the reservoir relative to its drainage area; the close proximity of the populated area immediately downstream; seepage through the spillway masonry joints and a general lack of proper, regular maintenance. The maximum spillway discharge of 5710 cfs represents 48.5 percent of the test flood outflow.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This flood control project consists of a dam and dike which are earth embankments at 3H:1V with good grass cover and a top width of 12 feet. The dam is approximately 3060 feet long and 31 feet high. The dike is approximately 475 feet long and 28 feet high. The principal spillway consists of a reinforced concrete riser, a 30 inch RCP through the dam and a reinforces concrete impact basin. The emergency spillway is a 130 foot wide grassed earth channel at the eastern end of the dam. The reservoir is normally empty except for a small sediment pool. Based on the visual inspection, review of design information, and past operational performance, the dam and dike are judged to be in GOOD condition. There is some erosion due to vehicle trespass and animal burrows were noted in the embankments. The maximum outflow capacity of the spillways with the water level at the top of the dam is 3580 cfs, which is 185 percent of the test flood outflow.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moodus Reservoir is a homogeneous earth embankment dam constructed around 1824. The dam has a maximum height of 17.5 feet and is approximately 275 feet long. The dam consists of a mortared stone spillway 140 feet long by 15 feet in height. An earth embankment with a total length of 135 feet is located to the left of the spillway. The overflow spillway discharges into a stone and concrete lined channel leading to an 18 foot by 8 foot bridge opening beneath Falls bashan Road, which is immediately downstream. this bridge has a wooden deck and a load capacity limited to 5 tons per axle. The earth embankments are approximately 2.5H:1.0V and are grassed on the crest and both slopes. There is also an outlet structure with a discharge opening measuring 7 feet by 3 feet at the left spillway abutment of the dam which discharges through a separate stone masonry channel beneath Falls Bashan Road. Due to its age, Moodus Reservoir Dam was neither designed nor constructed by present State-of-the-art methods. Based upon the visual inspection at the site, the lack of engineering data available, and very limited operational or maintenance evidence, the dam is judged to be in good condition. However, there are areas of concern which must be corrected to assure the safety and long-term performance of this dam. It is estimated that a test flood outflow of 6898 cfs (657 csm) will overtop the dam by about 3.7 feet; therefore, the spillway is considered inadequate. With the pool level at the top of the dam, the spillway can discharge 2182 cfs, or 32 percent of the test flood outflow.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upper Pond Dam is an earth embankment dam with a maximum height of 17 feet and a length of 390 feet. The dam embankment left of the spillway is approximately 10 feet in width, with 2 horizontal to 1 vertical upstream and downstream embankment slopes. The centrally located spillway is 72 feet in length and is a stone masonry structure. Stone masonry training walls approximately 5 feet in height are located at each side of the spillway. The outlet works consist of a concrete gate structure and an outlet channel. Based on the visual inspection, the Upper Pond Dam appears to be in poor condition. There was no movement or settlement of the crest observed. The horizontal alignment is good. The top of the outlet gate structure, however, is lower than the embankment crest. Some erosion was noted at the abutments, adjacent to the spillway section and adjacent to the outlet works. Trespassing on the slopes was not significant. Erosion scarps on the upstream slope extending 1-2 feet above waterline were noted. Several areas of broad shallow erosion on the upstream slope and upstream side of abutments were observed. Brush and many large trees (up to 2.5-ft.-dia.) with extensive root systems were noted on the slopes and crest of the dam. Standing water was observed in an area 35 feet downstream of the toe on the right side of the dam. The capacity of the spillway is inadequate to pass the 1/2 PMF test flood outflow of 5,195 CFS and would overtop the dam by about 0.9 feet. The spillway can pass about 33 percent of the test flood.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scovill Reservoir Dam is an earth embankment dam with stone masonry walls on the upstream and downstream faces. The dam is about 245 feet long, with a maximum height of 21 feet. A spillway section about 25 feet wide and 1 foot deep is located in the central portion of the dam. An abandoned gate structure is located near the spillway section. The dam is judged to be in poor condition. The upstream face of the dam has been overtopped and extensive erosion of the crest is unchecked. Brush is growing on the upstream slope and crest. The downstream area, just below the dam, is wet and spongy, with some seepage observed. Trees are growing at the base of the downstream stone masonry face. The spillway, which consists of an unlined section at the crest where the downstream masonry wall is stepped-down, has eroded significantly and water flowing over the crest continues to cause erosion. The capacity of the spillway is inadequate to pass the 0.75 PMF spillway test flood outflow without overtopping the dam. The test flood would overtop the dam by about 0.7 feet. The spillway would pass only about 14 percent of the test flood outflow without overtopping the dam.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is located on a tributary of the Connecticut River on the town line of Bolton and Vernon, Tolland County, Connecticut. It is an earthfill structure approximately 625 ft. long with a maximum depth at its center of 26 ft. The crest width varies from 12 to 15 feet. A vertical granite masonry wall extends from the downstream side of the crest to the bed of Lydall Brook below. The visable part of the upstream embankment has a 1 on 2 to 1 on 3 slope with a riprap face. The downstream embankment consists of cobbles and boulders piled against the face of the masonry wall on an approximate 1 on 1.5 slope. The dam is in generally good condition. It appears to be structurally stable at the present time under normal conditions. Based on its small size and high hazard classification in accordance with the Corps' guidelines, the test flood is 1/2 the PMF. The spillway will pass only about 44 percent of the test flood and is considered inadequate. Recommendations to improve dam safety are: (1) Increase spillway capacity; (2) Replace 6-in. discharge pipe and relocate valve; (3) Add riprap near the center on the downstream side; (4) Divert spillway discharge away from the toe of the dam.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This flood control project consists of three structures: the Main Dam, the Diversion Dike and Dike No. 2. Each structure is an earth embankment at 3H:1V with a good grass cover and a top width of 12 feet. The principal spillways consist of a reinforced concrete riser and 30 inch RCP through the Main Dam and Diversion Dike. The emergency spillways are grassed channels, 40 feet wide in the eastern 1/3 of the Main Dam and 90 feet wide at the eastern end of the Diversion Dike. The reservoir is normally empty except for small sediment pools at the principal spillway inlets. Based on the visual inspection, review of design information and past operational performance, these structures are judged to be in good condition. There is some erosion due to vehicle treepass, some sloughing of the embankments, and animal burrows. These structures are classified as intermediate in size and high hazard potential structures in accordance with the Recommended Guidelines for Safety Inspection of Dams, by the Corps of Engineers. The impoundment storage at the top of the structures is 1205 ac.-ft. The maximum outflow capacity of the spillways with the water level at the top of the dam is 5400 cfs, which is 203 percent of the test flood outflow.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Farmington Reservoir Dam is an earth embankment impounding an unnamed tributary to the Pequabuck River and is reported to have been built in 1895. The dam (including spillway) is 760 feet long and eight (8) feet wide at the top. The dam has a maximum impoundment capacity of 64 acre-feet and is about 8 feet in height from the toe of the downstream slope to the top of the dam. The spillway is a 32 foot long, and 2.8 foot high, concrete, ogee shaped weir. There is no information available on outlet pipes. Based upon the visual inspection at the site and past performance, the dam is judged to be in poor condition. There are areas requiring attention, monitoring, and maintenance such as seeps along the toe of the embankment, erosion on the upstream and downstream slopes, location and operation of outlet and inlet structures and valves, and removal of trees. Peak inflow to the impoundment at the test flood is 315 cfs; peak outflow is 250 cfs with the maximum stage in the reservoir at 383.7, or 1.0 foot below the top of the dam. Based on this information the dam is not expected to overtop at the test flood condition. The spillway capacity with the pool at top of dam is estimated to be 525 cfs which is greater than 100% of the routed test flood outflow.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bugbee Reservoir Dam consists of an earth embankment, approximately 410 ft. long with a top width of 14 ft. and a maximum height of 20 ft. The low level outlet for the project is the principal spillway which consists of a two-stage reinforced concrete intake riser, a 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe and a 21 ft. long concrete impact basin. In addition to the low level outlet, there is a 200 ft. wide, grassed trapezoidal channel at the dam's south end serving as the emergency spillway. Based on the visual inspection and review of available plans and reports, Bugbee Reservoir Dam is judged to be in good condition; however, during the inspection, there was a light snow cover of two to three inches which may have obscured problems such as erosion or settlement. In addition, since the reservoir area was dry, the inspection could not reveal seepage conditions. With the water level at the top of the dam the maximum spillway capacity is 6000 cfs, which is 175% of the routed test flood outflow. The storage capacity of the reservoir at the top of the dam is 1300 ac. ft.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drainage area is 2.0 square miles and the reservoir has 825 acre-feet of storage capacity. The assessment of the dam is based on a visual inspection, past operational performance and hydraulic/hydrologic computations. The dam is judged to be in FAIR condition with several areas that require attention. These areas include seepage through the dam in the vicinity of the low-level discharge pipes and wet spots along the toe of the dam, vegetation on the embankments as well as along the toe of the dam and the inoperable status of the low-level discharge pipe. The test flood outflow will not overtop the dam and will leave 0.4 feet of freeboard.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold Spring Reservoir Dam consists of an earth embankment, approximately 1,040 ft. long, with a top width of 12 ft. and a maximum height of 20 ft. In addition, there is a 140 ft. long dike, 2.5 ft. high, with an 8 ft. top width. The two outlets for the dam are the principal spillway and emergency spillway. The principal spillway is a drop inlet structure consisting of a two stage reinforced concrete intake riser discharging through a 36-in. reinforced concrete pipe under the dam embankment. The emergency spillway is a trapezoidal grassed channel, 125 ft. wide at the control section with its crest 4.5 ft. below the top of the dam. Based on visual inspection and review of available plans and reports, Cold Spring Reservoir Dam is judged to be in fair condition. Some features found existing that could affect the stability of dam are erosion of the dam embankment and the potential foundation and embankment stability problem resulting from the existing soil conditions. The dam is a flood control project and, therefore, the reservoir is dry except during periods of heavy rainfall. With the reservoir dry, the inspection could not reveal seepage conditions. The spillway is capable of passing 174% of the routed test flood outflow without overtopping the dam.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crescent Lake Dam is about 600 ft. long, 12 ft. high and has a crest width of about 15 ft. It is an earthen embankment with a downstream slope of about 2 to 1 and a variable upstream slope. There is no orthodox spillway structure, but an unlined channel in the reservoir bank near the right abutment serves as a wasteway for reservoir spills. An outlet canal takes off from the reservoir about 600 ft. upstream from the left abutment, which has a concrete headwall incorporating a 38 in. wide notch with stoplog slots. There appears to be no other outlet structure. Maximum storage capacity is about 335 acre-feet. Crescent Lake, used now for recreational purposes, is less than a mile long, has a surface of about 36 acres and a drainage area of about two square miles. The dam is in fair condition. There is some seepage along the downstream toe of the embankment, which has large mature trees growing on it. The lack of any outlet gate precludes drainage the lake without breaching the dam. The test flood would not overtop the dam but would reach within 1/2 ft. of the crest and overtop areas of reservoir bank adjacent to both left and right abutments, which appear to be as much as 2 ft. lower than the crest of the dam. It appears that the valley area east of the Penn Central Railroad track which is just downstream from the dam would absorb outflows up to the test flood magnitude without major consequences to downstream interests.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is a concrete gravity structure with concrete buttresses adjacent to the downstream face of the dam spaced at approximately 18 feet on center. An earthen embankment slopes down from the exposed concrete section at a maximum inclination of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical on the downstream side of the dam. The structure is approximately 1080 feet long and has a maximum height of approximately 48 feet above the old streambed. Outlets consist of a 30 inch cast iron low level line at elevation 172, a 30 inch cast iron transmission main and an 8 inch cast iron service main. The spillway is a 137 foot wide nappe-shaped concrete weir with concrete sidewalls. The area downstream of the dam consists of residential and industrial developments, Connecticut Route 8, and further downstream, urban areas of Stratford. Based upon visual inspections at the site and past performance history, the dam appears to be in good condition. No evidence of structural instability was observed in the concrete section, buttresses or the earthen embankment. However, there are some areas which require attention. Based upon our hydraulic computations, the spillway capacity is 4300 cubic feet per second, which is in excess of 100 percent of the Test Flood. Peak inflow to the reservoir is 2600 cubic feet per second; peak outflow (Test Flood) is 1400 cubic feet per second with the dam maintaining a minimum freeboard of 1.8 feet. It is recommended that the left wingwall adjacent to the spillway be monitored to ascertain whether movement which has occurred to date is continuing.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maximum height of the dam is 27 feet at the left edge of the spillway. The reservoir storage at the top of dam is 11 acre-feet. There are both upstream and downstream spillway training walls composed of mortared and hand placed cobbles respectively. The visual inspection of Risdon Pond Dam indicated that the dam is in fair condition. The inspection revealed that the unprotected upstream face has been slightly eroded by wave action. The downstream face of the dam has a number of blocks which have been displaced, cracked or have unmortared joints, Grass, moss and small trees are growing out of some of the joints. There are several areas of seepage along the downstream wall both sides of the spillway. There is a 3-foot deep depression on the left downstream wall of the dam. Also, there are five large tree stumps along the crest of the dam and a footpath traverses the crest. The spillway will discharge 220 cfs, or 16% of the test flood with the pool level at the top of the dam. The test flood flow of 1420 cfs will overtop the dam by 2.0 feet.
