National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams, Crocker Pond Dam (MA 00638), Merrimack River Basin, Westminster, Massachusetts. Phase 1 Inspection Report
Crocker Pond Dam is a 520-foot long earthfill dam built in 1933 for storage. The facility has a maximum height of 38.5 feet and includes a spillway, flood gate, gate house and outlet structures. The spillway is a concrete ogee weir, 120-feet long (including the closed flood gate). There are five separate outlets for the dam, and 8-foot wide by 12-foot high flood gate, which when closed is part of the spillway; a 42-inch diameter main low level outlet; a 24-inch diameter auxiliary low level outlet; a 3-foot square drain; and a 3-foot square trash chute. The following deficiencies were observed at the site: spalled, cracked and deteriorated concrete on the east and west approach channel sidewalls, the spillway face, the sidewall between the spillway and the flood gate, the east and west sidewalls of the spillway, and the west face of the gate house; burrow holes and foot paths on the downstream face of the dam; missing stones along the downstream bench of the east section of the dam; logs and debris caught on the spillway weir and trees overhanging the west side of the downstream channel. The test flood would overtop the dam by 2.2 feet with no flashboards in place andf 3.8 feet with flashboards in place. Hydraulic analyses indicate that the spillway without flashboards can discharge 10,500 cfs, or 57 percent of the test flood outflow before the dam is overtopped with flashboards, the spillway can discharge 6,300 cfs or 34 percent of the test flood outflow before the dam is overtopped. This assumes that the flood gate remains closed during the test flood.
