National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Sterling Pond Dam (CT 00610), Thames River Basin, Sterling, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
The Sterling Pond Dam, built on 1870 to impound water for industrial use, is a masonry structure with earth fill along the upstream slope. The dam is approximately 1010 feet in length, 12.5 feet in height and impounds approximately 125 acre-feet of water on the Mossup River. There are three stone masonry spillways; one at each end and one at the central portion of the dam. The spillway at the left end is 65 feet long, the central spillway is 70 feet along and the right spillway is 52 feet long. Based upon the visual inspection at the site and past performance of the dam, the project is judged to be in fair condition. There are items requiring repair, maintenance and monitoring such as deterioration of the masonry at the spillways, erosion at the top and upstream slope of the earth fill embankment, lack of riprap protection on the upstream slope and minor seepage. The total capacity of all three spillways with the lake level to the top of the dam is 2940 cfs, which is 10% of routed test flood outflow.
