National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Textile Printing Co. (Upper) Dam (MA00560), Connecticut River Basin, Palmer, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam has a length of about 230 ft. including the earth embankment on the right side and the canal on the left side structure. The gate house at the upstream end of the canal is considered to be in poor condition while the remaining portions of this facility are in general, fair condition. The dam is intermediate in size having a significant hazard potential. There are deficiencies which must be corrected to assure the continual performance of this dam. (Author)
