National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Burnt Hill Reservoir Dam (CT 00488), Connecticut River Basin, West Hartford, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The dam is an earth embankment with a good grass cover. It is approximately 1100 feet long and 38 feet high with a top width of 14 feet. The principal spillway is a reinforced concrete riser with a 30 inch RCP. The emergency spillway is also a reinforced riser with a 60 inch RCP outlet. The 30 inch RCP extends from the principal spillway to the emergency spillway riser. Based on the visual inspection, review of design information, and past operational performance, the dam is judged to be in GOOD condition. There is some erosion due to vehicle trespass and animal burrows were noted in the embankment. The maximum outflow capacity of the spillways with the water level at the top of the dam is 560 cfs, which is 104 percent of the test flood outflow.
