National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Andover Lake Dam (CT 00624), Thames River Basin, Andover, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
Andover Lake Dam is an earth embankment dam with a concrete parapet wall along most of its crest. The dam is about 454 ft. long and 20 ft. high. To the right of the dam the reservoir rim has a saddle whose low point is 1.25 ft. below the level of the parapet. A 39 ft. wide concrete spillway with a 7 ft. wide stop-log notch is located about 50 ft. from the left abutment. A 24 in. dia. outlet pipe through the embankment is controlled by a gate valve, which at the time of the inspection was completely submerged. The dam is judged to be in generally fair condition. At the time of the inspection vegetative growth had invaded the embankment, there were cracks in the abutment walls of the spillway, and the spillway's discharge channel was encroaching on the toe of the dam embankment for a distance of about 150 ft. The discharge channel for the low level outlet was in need of repair and had an area of persistent seepage. The top of the embankment was lower than the top of the concrete parapet wall. There was some displacement of riprap on the upstream slope and areas of local erosion on the downstream slope. The spillway can pass about 280 cfs or about 9 percent of the routed test flood outflow without overtopping the low point near the right abutment.
