National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Roaring Brook Dam MA 01056, Connecticut River Basin, Conway, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is a 65 ft. high, 435 ft. long earth embankment dam with an ungated spillway containing provisions for 24 inch flashboards and a manually operated 18 inch main drain. Based on the visual inspection, the dam seems to be in good condition. However, due to the lack of an accessible upstream control for the drain, the dam is considered in fair condition. It is intermediate in size with a hazard classification of high. (Author)
