National Dam Safety Program. Mechanicville Reservoir Dam (Inventory Number NY 1061), Upper Hudson River Basin, Saratoga County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report,

Abstract

The Mechanicville Reservoir Dam is an earth dam having a drop inlet spillway containing three discharge conduits plus a smaller cast-iron standpipe leading to a water supply conduit. The embankment is 380 feet long and about 30 feet high. Using the Corps of Engineers' Screening Criteria for initial review of spillway adequacy, it has been determined that the dam would be overtopped by all storms exceeding 20% of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) inflows.
