National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Pomeroy Dam (CT 00479), Thames River Basin, Stafford, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Pomeroy Dam consists of a 535 foot long earth embankment and a 150 wide grassed emergency spillway. The outlet consists of a concrete riser with 6 foot long weirs on each side and a 24-inch reinforced concrete outlet pipe discharging to McIntyres Brook at the toe of dam. Maximum height of dam is 37 feet with a maximum storage capacity of 710 acre-feet at crest elevation. Based on the visual inspection, Pomeroy Dam appears to be in good condition. There is one small tree on the downstream slope and a rodent burrow at the end of the emergency spillway channel. The plans show a slide gate at the inlet to the principal spillway but it was not installed. Maintenance practices at Pomeroy Dam appear to be good.
