National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. South Barre Mill Pond Dam (MA 00091), Connecticut River Basin, South Barre, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The South Barre Mill Pond dam is a small dam consisting of two adjacent concrete ogee spillways, a short earth embankment on the right side and an outlet works to a penstock at the left abutment. The present dam, constructed about 1904, was extensively damaged in the floods of 1936 and 1938 and has been reconstructed on several occasions, the latest work in 1944. The dam is in fair to good condition. There are no obvious signs of failure or conditions which would warrant urgent remedial treatment. Hydraulic analyses indicate that the spillway will not pass one-half the probable maximum flood and the spillway is considered inadequate, Recommendations for remedial work include repair of concrete at the left training wall and right spillway weir and restoration of gates to good operating condition. Additional investigation of the right spillway weir is recommended, since no data are available concerning this portion of the structure.
