National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Thurston Pond Dam (CT 00129), Naugatuck River Basin, Naugatuck, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
The Thurston Pond Dam, also known as the New Dam, consists of an earth embankment with a stone masonry overflow spillway located at the right end of the dam, and outlet works located at the right abutment. The total length of the dam, including the spillway section, is 510 feet and the maximum height is 20 feet. The stone masonry overflow spillway section has an upstream earth embankment of unknown section, a concrete cap and a batter of 6 inches per vertical foot on the downstream face. The outlet works consist of a concrete intake structure with inlet and outlet gates which can discharge water through a 24-inch concrete pipe to downstream locations or through an 18-inch concrete pipe into the stream below the dam. The dam impounds Thurston Pond, which is used for industrial water supply. Based on the visual inspection, the dam is judged to be in poor condition. Features that could affect the future integrity of the dam are continued erosion of the earth embankment, the presence of trees on the dam, the deterioration of the stone masonry overflow spillway, and inadequate spillway capacity to pass the Test Flood Outflow. The spillway capacity is 2,500 cfs or 37 percent of the Test Flood Outflow.
