National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Norumbega Reservoir Dam and Dikes, Norumbega Reservoir Dam and East Dike (MA 00782) Dike 2 and Dike 3 (MA 01208) Dike 4 (MA 01209), Massachusetts Coastal Area, Weston, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The main dam is comprised of a 1,100 foot long, 25 foot high main embankment, and a 1,200 foot, 10 foot high east dike. There are also 3 separate earth dikes designated dikes 2, 3 and 4. Dike 2 has a length of 310 feet. Dike 3 has a length of 700 feet and Dike 4 has a length of 700 feet. The test flood inflow from the 0.10 s.m. drainage area is 300 cfs. The storage capacity of the reservoir is enough to retain the entire test inflow. The dam and dikes are in generally good condition. However, due to excessive growth of brush and trees on the slopes and the lack of seismic stability investigation, the dam and dikes are rated fair.
