National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Broad Brook Dam (CT 00301), Quinnipiac River Basin, Meriden Cheshire, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
The Broad Brook Dam is a concrete dam that is 210 feet long with a 70 foot spillway. It has a gate house with a 30 inch diameter blowoff and a 30 inch diameter water main. Based on the visual inspection, records available at the site and past operational performance, the dam is judged to be in poor condition. A review of the limited engineering data available reveals that there are areas of concern that should be corrected or investigated further as to their effect on the integrity of the dam. The east bank on the downstream side of the dam shows signs of fairly heavy seepage. This condition should be investigated further. The project spillway will pass only 26 percent of the estimated Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), the recommended spillway test flood. Therefore, further hydrologic and hydraulic studies are recommended to refine the spillway test flood, determine the ability of the dam to withstand overtopping, and if appropriate, measures for increasing spillway capacity.
