National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Lake Ellis Dam (MA 00005), Connecticut River Basin, Athol, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Lake Ellis Dam is an earth embankment about 140 feet long with a maximum height of about 11 feet. The dam is in fair condition. The culvers under the highway are capable of discharging 2,400 cfs which is equivalent to 77% of the PMF before the highway embankment would be overtopped. The full PMF event would overtop the highway embankment by approximately one foot. (Author)
