National Dam Safety Program. Roosevelt Park Dam (NJ00378) Rahway River Basin, South Branch Rahway River, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Based on visual inspection, available records, calculations and past operational performance, Roosevelt Park Dam, initially listed as a high hazard potential structure, but reduced to a significant hazard potential structure as a result of this inspection, is judged to be in fair overall condition. The dam's spillway is considered inadequate because a flow equivalent to nine percent of the 100-year flood would cause the dam to be overtopped.
