National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Paradise Pond Dam (MA 00754), Connecticut River Basin, Northampton, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The stone masonry gravity dam has a hydraulic height of 23 ft., and a length of 190 ft. The dam is presently in fair condition; however, there are deficiencies which if not corrected could jeopardize the safety and integrity of the structure. The major concern is undermining of the base of the dam which has left a section of the downstream face unsupported. It is small in size with a hazard potential of high. A registered professional should be hired to design repairs to pressure leaks which appear in the face of the dam. (Author).
