National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Sprague Upper Reservoir Dam (RI 03105), Providence River Basin, Smithfield, Rhode Island. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is a 25 ft. high and 252 ft. long stone wall dam with uncemented joints constructed across a steep-sided valley reach on an unnamed brook. The dam is intermediate in size with a high hazard potential. The spillway is inadequate to handle the test flood and the dam would be overtopped by about 1.4 ft. (Author).
