Abstract

Chase Pond Dam is a rock filled log crib with timber planking overflow structure between stone and concrete embankments. The overall length of the dam is 103 ft. The timber overflow section is approximately 12 ft. high by 50.5 ft. long and 10 ft. wide at the crest. The embankments, which are approximately 5.4 feet higher than the crest of the timber overflow section, are composed of masonry and concrete on the upstream and training wall faces. As a result of the visual inspection of this facility, the dam is considered to be in poor condition. The dam is small in size with a significant hazard classification. The dam at the outlet from Tannery Pond could be overtopped or breached. Keywords include: Inspection, Dam safety, Merrimack River Basin, Wilmot, New Hampshire, and Chase Pond.
