National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Sargent Lake Dam (NH 00086), State Number 21.03, Merrimack River Basin, Belmont, New Hampshire. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is an earthen embankment dam with a hydraulic height of 14 ft. and 422 ft. long. The dam is in poor condition. There are a few major concerns which must be corrected to assure the continued performance of the dam. It is small in size with a high hazard classification. The test flood may range from 1/2 to the Probable Maximum Flood. The PMF was selected as the test flood because of the potential for loss of life and poor condition of the dam. (Author)
