Abstract

The Hoadley Pond Dam consists of a stone masonry structure with a maximum height of 19 feet, and an overall length of 145 feet, including a 67 foot long overflow spillway at the right end of the dam. A stone masonry wall with a top width of 4 feet connects the right end of the spillway to the right abutment. To the left of the spillway there is a 6 foot wide stone masonry wall which extends to the left abutment. The outlet works, located to the left of the spillway, consists of a 7 foot by 5 foot opening through this stone masonry wall with an upstream sluice gate discharging to a downstream forebay.
