National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Olney Pond Dam (RI 01702), Providence River Basin, Lincoln, Rhode Island. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is an earthfill dam with a masonry core wall, about 220 ft. long, with a maximum height of about 29.5 ft. The dam is intermediate in size with a high hazard potential. The test flood for the dam is the full PMF. The dam was judged to be in generally fair condition. However, the spillway is not adequate to pass the routed test flood outflow. There are various operating and maintenance measures which should be undertaken by the owner. (Author)
