National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Minards Pond Dam (VT 00154) Connecticut River Basin, Bellows Falls, Vermont. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is a 25 ft. high earth fill with a crest length of 700 ft. and a crest width ranging from 10 to 15 ft. It is small with a significant hazard potential. The dam is in poor condition. There is no means available for lowering the pond level in the event of emergency. An annual maintenance inspection program and an annual technical inspection program should be established. An effective flood warning system should be established and tested regularly to protect downstream residents. (Author)
