National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Crescent Street Dam MA 00934. Connecticut River Basin, Athol, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is about 127 ft. long and 28 ft. high. It is considered in fair condition primarily because of its somewhat limited spillway capacity and vibration of the bascule gate. It is small in size with a high hazard potential. Investigations are recommended to determine the hydraulic adequacy of the spillway and a method of minimizing vibrations in the bascule gate.
