National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Pisgah Reservoir Dam (NH 00301), State Number 255.11, Connecticut River Basin, Winchester, New Hampshire. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The stone masonry dam with upstream earthfill has a hydraulic height of 30 ft. and is 90 ft. long. The dam is in poor condition. There are some major concerns which should be implemented. The dam is small in size with a significant hazard potential. The test flood is 1/2 the PMF. A major breach at top of dam probably would not result in the loss of lives, but could cause appreciable property damage.
