This book was released on 1978 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following visible signs of distress were noted at the site: erosion and insufficient riprap on the upstream face of the dam; the lack of permanently-installed equipment for opening the gate at the low-level intake; leakage around the closed gate; seepage in the tailrace downstream of the dam; and overgrowth of vegetation on the dam, the dike, and over the outlet channel. An outflow test flood of 2,560 cfs (derived from one-half the probable maximum flood) will overtop the dam by about 2.4 feet. The outlet even when fully opened is inadequate as a spillway because it can discharge only 7 percent of the test flood.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dam is an earthfill embankment 90 feet long and 24 feet high with concrete headwalls on the upstream and downstream slopes. There is a concrete outlet structure located on the upstream face of the dam. The structure contains three weirs and a grated outlet. The following are visible signs of distress which indicate a potential hazard at the site: erosion and spalling of the concrete on the outlet structure; slight seepage at the top of the outlet gate; slight seepage at the toe of the dam; a small tree growing at the toe of the dam; erosion of the embankment slopes near the west abutment; accumulation of rock debris in the floor of the box culvert; and minor efflorescence, cracking and seepage in the walls of the box culvert. In addition, the channel downstream of the dam contains heavy overgrowth of trees and brush, an accumulation of rock and soil 2 feet above the floor of the box culvert, and pieces of rock fallen from the side walls. The outlet structure can only discharge 29 percent of the test flood before overtopping the dam occurs. In the event flow overtops the dam, complete failure of the dam is unlikely to occur. The highway pavement and concrete headwalls will serve to protect the dam under flood conditions. However, erosion of the dam could occur, resulting in a breach and partial failure of the dam.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisherville Pond Dam is an earthfill dam with a stone masonry, narrow crested spillway. The dam, which was constructed in about 1882, has a total length of 910 feet, including the embankment, spillway, outlet works, and diversion structure. The embankment has a maximum height of 10 feet and is approximately 650 feet long. The 200-foot long spillway is constructed of granite blocks stepped on the downstream side. There is a low level outlet structure at the east end of the spillway. There is also an abandoned gated diversion structure at the west end of the dam on the Blackstone Canal. The following visible signs of distress indicate a potential hazard at the site: seepage at the downstream toe of the dam, lack of adequate riprap protection on the upstream face of the dam, thick vegetation and trees growing downstream of the dam, debris scattered on the dam, inoperable slide gates on the Blackstone Canal diversion structure, accumulation of debris in the inlet channel for the outlet and diversion structures, and missing or cracking mortar on the stone masonry training walls at the outlet and diversion structures. The test flood (full PMP) produces an outflow of 58,800 cfs and would overtop the dam by about 8.2 feet. The spillway can discharge only 22.1 percent of the test flood before the dam is overtopped.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorothy Pond Dam which was constructed around 1825 is an earthfill dam with an upstream mortared masonry headwall. The dam has a maximum height of 13 feet and is approximately 200 feet long. The outlet conduit is a 24-inch diameter cast-iron pipe controlled by a rack and pinion operated wooden slide gate. The spillway, which is located 180 feet west and from the dam, consists of a mortared stone paved channel that discharges into an earth channel. Generally, the dam is considered to be in fair condition. However, there are several visible signs of distress which indicate a potential hazard at this site: slight-to-moderate seepage at the downstream toe of the dam, erosion on the upstream headwall and face of the dam, large trees on the dam crest, and accumulation of debris in the spillway channel. Hydraulic analyses indicate that the existing spillway can discharge a flow of 264 cubic feet per second (cfs) at Elevation (El) 396 which is the top of the dam. An inflow test flood of 2,850 cfs (one-half of the probable maximum flood) will overtop the main dam by about 2.0 feet.

Book excerpt: Green Hill Pond Dam is an earthfill embankment 200 feet long and 20 feet high with a stone masonry core wall 17 feet high. Generally the dam is in good condition although the outlets to the spillway and overflow diversion are in poor condition. Green Hill has been classified in the 'high' hazard category. There is potential hazard at the site. An inflow test flood of 280 cfs will overtop the main dam by an average of 0.2 feet. (Author).

The dam is in fair condition. It has been placed in 'significant' hazard category for the classification of hazard potential.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bell Pond is located in a depression on top of a bedrock hill. An earthfill dam built some time prior to 1843, it is located on the south shore of the pond. The dam is 230 feet long and has a maximum height of 3.7 feet. At the northwest corner of the pond is acatch basin with an outlet pipe at invert EL 668.8. This serves as the only spillway at the site. Generally, the dam is in fair condition. The dam is considered to be a hazard because of the lack of a low-level regulating outlet and the accumulation of debris at the upstream end of the existing catch basin outlet. The following are other signs of distress observed at the site: slight seepage through the embankment of the dam along the downstream toe, a dense growth of trees and brush on the downstream slope of the dam, and deteriorated concrete and accumulated debris in the stormwater drainage basin below the erosion control channels. Hydraulic analyses indicate that the outlet pipe at the catch basin can discharge an estimated 20 cubic feet per second (cfs) when the pond level is at El 670.0, which is the low point on the crest of the dam. A test flood outflow (one-half probable maximum flood (PMF)) of 36 cfs will overtop the dam by a maximum of 0.2 feet. The outlet pipe can discharge about 56 percent of the test flood outflow.
