National Dam Safety Program. Irving Pond Dam (Inventory Number NY-174), Mohawk River Basin, Fulton County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

The Irving Pond Dam is composed of a 290 feet long stone filled crib embankment covered with riprap. A 59 feet wide concrete slab spillway is located in the center of the structure. Maximum height of the embankment above the old stream bed which is located below the spillway is 23 feet. The crest of the embankment is 24 feet wide, upstream slope is 1 vertical on 2 horizontal and the downstream slope is 1 vertical on 2.25 horizontal. The elevation of the embankment is 1710.0. The top of the south embankment section is totally exposed whereas the north section is heavily riprapped. Slopes are protected by riprap. Examination of available documents and visual inspections of the dam did not reveal conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life or property. However, additional studies should be undertaken to further evaluate condition affecting the dam.
