National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Whitney Dam (CT 00477), Thames River Basin, Stafford, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
Whitney Dam consists of a 1,400 foot long earth embankment and a 120 foot wide grassed emergency spillway. The outlet consists of a concrete riser with 7.5 foot long weirs on each side and a 30-inch reinforced concrete outlet pipe discharging into Patten Brook at the toe of dam. Maximum height of dam is 52 feet with a maximum storage capacity of 1,960 acre-feet. Based on the visual inspection, Whitney dam appears to be in good condition. Only one small cedar tree is growing on the embankment and there is evidence of recreational vehicles climbing the embankment in three locations. The rodent screen on one foundation drain outlet is partially missing and the slide gate stem at the principal spillway outlet is bent and appears to be inoperative. Calculations by the Soil Conservation Service show a peak inflow of 6,500 cfs. and a peak outflow of 1,930 cfs. with a maximum water surface elevation 2.0 feet below the crest of dam, which was used as the test flood.
