National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Larner Pond Dam (MA 00111), French River Basin, Dudley, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Larner Pond Dam is a dry-stone masonry and earth dam which was constructed about 17 feet and is approximately 405 feet long. It is comprised of an earth dike section approximately 160 feet long by 5 feet high on the east, and a dry-stone masonry and earth dam section 245 feet long 17 feet high on the west. Near the east end of the main dam is a stone masonry spillway with concrete apron approximately 38 feet long. Discharge flows down a stepped stone cascade into a natural earth channel. The areas of concern which indicate a potential hazard at the site include: seepage along the downstream toe of both the masonry wall of the dam and the dike, the loss of earthfill along the crest of the dam in various locations, a large depression on the crest of the dam, large trees and brush growing on the dam, a deteriorated spillway, and uncontrolled flow under the spillway apron slab.
