National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Old Marsh Pond Dam (CT 00285), Connecticut River Basin, Plymouth, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Old Marsh Pond Dam is a zoned earth embankment about 1,100 ft. long with a concrete core wall, is 33 ft. wide at the crest, and has a maximum height of about 32 ft. Both the dam and dike appear to be in good condition. The full PMF test flood would not overtop the dam (provided that the flashboards were not in place), but would overtop the dike by 1 ft. Based on maximum storage capacity, the dam is classified as intermediate in size. It has been classified as having a high hazard potential. (Author)
