National Dam Safety Program. Summit Street Lake Dam (Inventory Number N.Y. 847), Lower Hudson River Basin, Columbia County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

This dam is located on the Agawamuck Creek in the Village of Philmont. It is approximately 1000 feet south of New York State Route 217. This dam was constructed about the year 1860 by the High Rock Knitting Company, who used it for industrial purposes. Visual observations revealed several deficiencies on this structure. The following items were noted: Voids created by displaced stones on the downstream face. Voids ranged in size from 1 cubic foot up to 60 cubic feet; Leakage through and beneath the structure; Weathered stones which compose the dam that can be broken off by hand; Deteriorated concrete on the crest of the dam, and Brush and vines growing on the dam.
