National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. YMCA Pond Dam (CT 00385), Connecticut River Basin, Durham, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
YMCA Pond is a concrete gravity dam 80 feet in length and 26 f eet in height. The upstream face of the dam is vertical. The downstream face of the dam slopes at 1 H to 3 V. A concrete abutment wall 20 feet in length extends from the dam along the edge of the pond at the left abutment. The spillway comprises the central portion of the gravity dam and is 23 feet long. The downstream face of the spillway is curvilinear. Wooden flashboards are in place at the spillway, level with the top elevation of the dam. Based on the visual inspection, the YMCA Pond Dam appears to be in fair condition. Water was overflowing the spillway at the time of the inspection. Some cracking, spalling and efflorecence of concrete surfaces was observed. The vertical and horizontal alignment of the dam was good. Some erosion of weathered rock at the abutments was noted. Seepage was observed at the right abutment. The spillway (without flashboards) is adequate to pass 75 percent of the spillway test flood outflow without overtopping the dam.
