National Dam Safety Program. Kensico Dam (Inventory Number NY51), Bronx River Basin, Westchester County, New York. Phase 1 Inspection Report
Abstract
This report provides information and analysis on the physical condition of the dam as of the report date. Information and analysis are based on visual inspection of the dam by the performing organization. The Kensico Dam is maintained in excellent operational condition by the City of New York Personnel. The dam, spillway and pertinent works exhibit no evidence of distress and is stable for all anticipated conditions. Kensico Reservoir is unique in that the major source of inflow, and regulation of discharge and impoundment, are a function of the aqueduct system rather than the contributing watershed area; which is relatively small. As such it has been determined that the Kensico Dam spillway can safely discharge the probable maximum flood.
