National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Pawtucket Reservoir Dam (R.I. 00803), Providence River Basin, Cumberland Hill, Rhode Island. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is an earth embankment about 2900 ft. long and 33 ft. high. The dam is in good condition. The spillway capacity is inadequate to pass the test flood outflow; it would pass about 40% of the test flood. Several seepage points were noted on the downstream slope. There are various remedial measures which should be undertaken by the owner. (Author)
