National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Goodwin Dam (CT 00541), Farmington River Basin, Hartland, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The Goodwin Dam is an earth and rock embankment with an earth core that is 800 feet long and 125 feet high. It has an emergency spillway, channel, gate house and diversion tunnel. The dam and its appurtenant structures are in good condition. The dam will pass the Probable Maximum Flood (recommended Spillway Design Flood) without overtopping the dam. Some recommended measures to be undertaken by the owner, should include the establishment of metering points for seepage measurement and periodic inspections of the dam. It is not urgent to implement these recommendations.
