National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Ware Industries Main (Upper) Dam (MA 00594), Connecticut River Basin, Ware, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The Ware Industries Man (Upper) Dam consists of a main spillway 115 ft. long and approximately 34 ft. high, a spillway extension 50 ft. long and 4 ft. high, a concrete emergency spillway, a gate house with control works to a canal, and a 115 ft. long overflow weir from the canal. Based on a visual examination of the structure, the project is in good to fair condition. There was no evidence of structural failure or other conditions which would warrant urgent remedial action. The PMF outflow of 109,200 cfs would overtop the dam by 11.25 ft. With the water level at the top of dam, the spillway system can pass 7980 cfs which is 7.3 percent of the test flood.
