National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Ludlow Dam (MA 00547) and Cherry Valley Dam (MA 00548), Chicopee River Basin, Ludlow, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Both dams are of the earthfill type with a vertical spilling wall along their centerlines. Ludlow Dam is about 440 ft. long and 27 ft. high. The other is about 1400 ft. long and 38 ft. high. Both are in good condition. Since the dams could be possibly overtopped should a full PMF occur, additional investigation by a qualified consultant should be conducted in order for the dams to be able to pass a full PMF without overtopping.
