National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams, Lake Whittemore Dam (MA 00699), Connecticut River Basin, Spencer, Massachusetts. Phase 1 Inspection Report
Lake Whittemore Dam is approximately 300 ft. long. It consists of a small earth embankment approximately 15 ft. high and an ungated concrete ogee spillway weir. The dam is generally in fair to good condition. There are no obvious signs of failure or conditions which would warrant urgent remedial treatment. Hydraulic analyses indicated that the spillway will pass the spillway design flood without overtopping the dam. The spillway design flood selected for this structure was the probable maximum flood. Recommendations for remedial work include clearing of trees and brush, repair of the downstream fieldstone wall and dry-laid stone wall adjacent to the gate valve, and minor earthwork and rip-rap repairs.
