National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. International Packings Corporation Upper Dam (NH-00315) Merrimack River Basin, Bristol, New Hampshire. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is a timber cribwork gravity dam with concrete abutment training walls. The dam is about 285 ft. long and 17.5 ft. high. The dam is considered to be in fair condition. Underseepage and deterioration of timber components are among a few major concerns. It is small in size with a significant hazard potential. The 1/2 PMF would overtop the dam by about three ft.
