This book was released on 1980 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Brook Dam is an earthfill embankment about 1168 feet in length, and 60 feet in height and has a reinforced concrete principal spillway which maintains the water supply pool level and controls the release of stored floodwater, and a 50 foot wide earth and ledge excavated emergency spillway channel in the right abutment. The dam and appurtenances were found to be in fair condition. The visual inspection indicated that silt from under the upstream riprap is being washed out by runoff and wave action to form small deltas in the pond, the trash rack on the riser has been damaged, the toe of the dam is wet along the abutments and the floor of the discharge channel of the emergency spillway is wet. Some maintenance and minor remedial work is required. The combined spillways have a capacity of about 5000 CFS with the water level at the top of the dam. This capacity is about 185% of the routed test flood outflow from the reservoir.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Lake Dam is an earth embankment about 460 feet long with a height of about 15 feet above the brook channel. Near the center of the embankment is a reinforced concrete gravity wall spillway and control structure. The spillway is a free overfall straight drop type with a reinforced concrete, stone lined stilling basin and outfall channel, and provisions for flashboards or stop logs on the crest. A 30 inch square reservoir drain with hand operated sluice gate is also provided in the spillway structure. The embankment is in fair condition. The embankment is not at design height and downstream embankment protection has not been provided. The spillway is in fair condition. The spillway structure shows signs of poor workmanship and deficiencies which could eventually create hazards. Some leakage is apparently occurring under the embankment, but does not appear to be hazardous. Routing the flood flow through the reservoir starting at normal water level, but assuming that the flashboards would go out, the spillway would carry the estimated maximum outflow of 750 cfs with about 1.2 feet freeboard if the embankment is completed to design height.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Parish Filter No. 3 Dam is an earthen embankment structure 37.5 feet high and 800 feet long. A side-channel spillway is located at the right abutment. It has a concrete overflow section which is 23.4 feet long. Outlet piping passes beneath the embankment and connects directly to the water treatment plant which serves the City of Springfield, Mass. The dam is situated on a very small (0.07 sq. mi) drainage area, and serves as offstream storage and as a sedimentation basin for water which is piped from other dams. Based on the visual inspection, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. The following deficiencies were observed at the dam: a soft, wet area near the downstream toe; a row of evergreen trees along the downstream toe with some roots penetrating the embankment; rodent holes on the downstream slope; wheel tracks on the crest of the dam; misaligned riprap and loose rock and trees overhanging the spillway; low areas on the top of the dam; and no means of controlling flow at the upstream end of the outlet conduit. The spillway capacity is about 335 percent of the routed test flood outflow of 142 cfs. During the test flood, the freeboard would be 1.9 feet.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congamond Lakes North Dike impounds North Pond which is one of the three ponds which make up the Congamond Lakes. All of the three ponds, North Pond, South Pond and Middle Pond are interconnected by culverts or bridges. Together the three ponds are approximately three miles long and up to one-third mile wide with a total surface area of about 465 acres. The North Dike was constructed to replace an earlier dike (which plugged an old canal) and which failed in 1955. The North Dike is approximately 80 feet long with a maximum height of 29 feet. The present condition of the dike is fair. There is no spillway nor regulating gates at North Dike. The present outlet for the lakes is at Middle Pond where Berkshire Avenue crosses Great Brook about 2 miles to the south of North Dike. During annual floods, the direction of flow in Great Brook reverses itself and flows back towards Congamond Lakes. The outlet structure at Berkshire Avenue has stoplogs which are inserted to prevent Great Brook from flooding back into the lakes. While the stoplogs are in place, Congamond Lakes has no outlet. After the flood stage of Great Brook recedes, the stoplogs are removed and Congamond Lakes are allowed to drain. The PMF inflow into Congamond Lakes, assuming that the stoplogs are in place at Berkshire Avenue would cause the lake level to rise to approximate elevation 232 MSL which is about 2 feet below the top of the dike.

The dam is in generally good condition. It is felt, however, that certain items which are generally normal maintenance and operational procedures need attention. The spillway will pass only 12% of the test flood outflow; the embankment will be overtopped by 3 feet.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dams are in fair condition, due to the potential overtopping of the dams during the occurrence of the test flood and the reported overtopping of the dams during prior floods. There is some eroding of concrete joints in the dam, deteriorated concrete on appurtenant structures and observed seepage both from the joints in the concrete and from the embankments. The east dike is heavily overgrown with brush and young trees. Hydraulic analysis indicates that the test flood stage would be at elevation 240.3 which is approximately 4.3 feet above the top of the right embankment. Approximately 95 percent of the test flood would pass over the 60 foot dam, 29 foot dam and the small dam spillways. The remaining flow would be over the right embankment between the screen house and the mill building.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dam generally consists of a 190 foot masonry spillway, an earthfill embankment and 2 outlet pipes. The dam was designed in 1955 by Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation to replace an earlier dam, which was damaged by the flood of that year. Construction which utilized portions of the original structure was completed in 1957. The visual inspection showed the dam to be in good condition. However, water passing over the spillway limited the inspection of the spillway. The spillway is capable of passing 96% of the test flood outflow. The top of the embankment, elevation 175, would be overtopped by about 1 foot. However, failure under this condition would only cause insignificant damage as the downstream flooding would have already occurred. The dam is generally in good condition. However, it is recommended that the owner repair the drawdown outlet, and operate it at least once yearly to insure continued adequacy. After this outlet is repaired, or during a period of low flow, the owner should engage a qualified engineer to inspect the spillway without water flowing over it. Also the erosion of a retaining wall downstream of the spillway on the right abutment side should be repaired.
