National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Bushy Hill Pond Dam (CT 00426), Lower Connecticut River Basin, Deep River, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
Bushy Hill Pond Dam is an earth embankment structure 265 feet in length with a maximum height of 29 feet. A stone spillway 20 feet in length is located at the right abutment of the dam. The upstream face of the dam is a vertical concrete wall. The dam crest and downstream embankment are grassed. The spillway is located at the right abutment and is 20 feet in length. A 12 inch blow-off pipe provides a low level outlet. Based on the visual inspection, Bushy Hill Pond Dam and its appurtenances are judged to be in poor condition. The crest of the dam appears to dip toward the upstream face. The vertical alignment is good. The face appears to bow slightly upstream and the concrete wall is cracked at many locations. The downstream slope is uneven and erosion has occurred along the toe. Large boulders were observed at the intersection of dam and spillway training wall on the left side of the spillway. Seepage was noted along the toe of the downstream slope. The stone masonry overflow spillway section has open joints; however, no movement or seepage was observed. The spillway discharge channel is in general good condition. Some sloughing of the channel embankment (right side) was noted about 20 feet below the spillway. A 12-inch diameter low level blow-off was operated during the site visit. The test flood would overtop the dam by 1.4 feet. The spillway capacity without overtopping is 140 CFS which is about 9 percent of the test flood outflow.
