National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Bristol Fish and Game Club Dam (CT 00299), Quinnipiac River Basin, Town of Wolcott, New Haven, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The dam is an earth embankment founded on bedrock and measuring approximately 600 feet long, 22.5 feet high (26.5 structural height), and 12 feet wide at the top. The top of the dam is 4.5 feet above the principal spillway crest. The slopes and top of the embankment have a grass cover, with some riprap along the waterline. The principal spillway is a concrete drop inlet. There are two vertical 4 foot by 1 foot openings at the top of the riser structure, which allow water to flow into the chamber and out the 16 inch RCP. The low-level outlet, also part of this spillway structure, consists of a 15 inch ACCMP which extends for 30 feet from the riser chamber to the toe of the upstream slope. The emergency spillway is a grass lined channel extending around the right end of the dam. Based upon the visual inspection performed April 29, 1981, the project is assessed as being in good condition.
