National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Jewell Brook Dam Site Number 5 (VT 00017) Connecticut River Basin, Ludlow, Vermont. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is a 650 ft. long 113 ft. high earth dam. The dam is in fair condition due to the erosion of the spillways and training dikes during a test flood. The dam is large in size with a high hazard potential. The test flood for the dam is equal to the full PMF. It is recommended that the owner engage in a registered qualified engineer to investigate the adequacy of the relief walls. There are also various remedial measures which should be implemented by the owner.
