National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams, Shaker Mill Pond Dam (MA 00732), Housatonic River Basin, West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Shaker Mill Pond Dam consists of a gunite covered concrete and masonry spillway structure between approach channel walls and abutting earth roadway embankments. The overall length of the dam is about 50 ft. and its maximum height is 20.4 ft. There are two regulating outlets at the dam site. The dam is in fair condition, based on a visual examination of the structure. Several deficiencies, mainly due to deterioration, were noted. However, there was no evidence of settlement, lateral movement or other signs of structural failure of the dam, or other conditions which would warrant urgent remedial action. With the water level at the top of dam (level of Route 102 bridge deck), the ungated spillway capacity is approximately 1,600 cfs which is 6 percent of the test flood outflow.
