National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Mill River Dam (MA 00813), Taunton River Basin, Taunton, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam consists of a 120 ft. long spillway which was originally built in 1932. There are deficiencies which must be corrected to assure the continued performance of the dam. Generally, the dam is in poor condition. It has been classified as small in size with a hazard potential of high. A test flood equal to one half the probable maximum flood. Recommendations were presented for constructing additional spillway capacity at both Morey's Bridge and Mill River dams. These recommendations have not been implemented.
