National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Whiting Pond Dam (MA 00859), Massachusetts-Rhode Island Coastal Basin, North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Whiting Pond Dam is approximately 600 ft. long, has a maximum height of 9 ft, and includes a 13-ft. long concrete spillway. The dam is in fair condition, based on a visual examination of the structure. Although some deficiencies were noted, there no evidence of settlement, lateral movement or other signs of structural failure or other conditions which would warrant urgent remedial action. The PMF outflow of 4160 cfs (1015 csm) would overtop the spillway platform by about 2.6 ft. and most of the embankment by 1 to 1.5 ft. With the water at the level of the platform, the spillway (without flashboards) can pass 312 cfs which is 7.5 percent of the test flood.
