National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Beaupre's Pond Dam (CT 00584), Thames River Basin, Pomfret, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
beaupre's Pond Dam is an earth embankment dam with an average crest width of 20 feet and irregular but generally flat slopes. The maximum height of the dam is 12 feet and its length is 385 feet. An earth channel emergency overflow spillway is located at the left abutment and has a crest elevation of 695.5 NGVD. This spillway is a trapezoidal channel with a 24 foot bottom width and 4:1 side slopes. Outlets for the dam consists of a 4' x 4' concrete drop inlet overflow structure which controls the level of the pond at elevation 695.0 NGVD and a 6 inch diameter cast iron low level outlet located at the bottom of the overflow structure. The outlet is a 2' x 2' concrete box culvert which carries flow to the toe of the dam. the dam has an impoundment capacity of 66 acre-feet at the top of dam elevation of 697.0 and is used for recreation. Based on a visual inspection at the site, the dam is considered to be in FAIR condition. However, these are several areas of concern which must be investigated and corrected, as required, to assure the long-term performance of this dam.
