National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams, Stevens Pond Outlet Dam (MA 00232), Merrimack River Basin, Lawrence, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam appears to be in good condition, The 'V' spillway is 90 ft. long with effective abutments of about 10 ft. on either end. The dam is about 15 ft. high at the abutments. Although the dam is in the small size category the hazard potential is extremely high and thus the situation was analyzed using the full probable maximum flood. A failure of the dam would overflow the left bank immediately below the dam, flood nearby buildings and streets.
