National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Mill Pond Reservoir Main Dam (MA 01121), Merrimack River Basin, Burlington, Massachusetts. Phase 1 Inspection Report
The dam is comprised of a 1,300 foot long, 49.5 foot high earth fill embankment having a concrete core wall. The reservoir is a pump storage facility, having no inlet stream or spillway. Between the design high water level, elevation 144, and the top of dam, elevation 147.5, there is 221 acre-feet of available storage. This capacity is sufficient to store all the runoff, 203 acre-feet, from the drainage area. There will be no test flood outflow. The dam will not be overtopped. The following remedial measures should be instituted by the Owner: grass and brush on the dam should be cut and maintained; animal burrows should be filled-in and prevented from reoccuring; trespassing on the dam should be prevented; a formal warning system for the downstream impact area should be developed and the dam should be inspected once every year by a qualified registered professional engineer.
