National Dam Safety Program. Harrower Pond Dam (Inventory Number NY207), Mohawk River Basin, Montgomery County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report
Abstract
Harrower Pond Dam consists of a 175-ft. long earth embankment, the maximum height of which is 25 feet above original grade adjacent to the left spillway abutment. A 20 foot high vertical masonry wall forms the spillway section. The spillway is 77 feet long and eight feet in thickness. The area immediately upstream from the spillway is filled in with sediment and the remains of a previously existing timber crib dam. The right spillway abutment is adjacent to an intake and gate/powerhouse which has been abandoned. The examination of documents and the visual inspection of Harrower Pond Dam revealed conditions which constitute an immediate hazard to human life and property. The condition of the dam is considered to be 'unsafe, emergency', for several reasons. As a result of the 'unsafe, emergency' conditions of the dam, a 'Summary Abatement Order' was issued by the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation on May 23, 1980.
