National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Bugbee Reservoir Dam (CT 00491), Connecticut River Basin, West Hartford, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
Bugbee Reservoir Dam consists of an earth embankment, approximately 410 ft. long with a top width of 14 ft. and a maximum height of 20 ft. The low level outlet for the project is the principal spillway which consists of a two-stage reinforced concrete intake riser, a 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe and a 21 ft. long concrete impact basin. In addition to the low level outlet, there is a 200 ft. wide, grassed trapezoidal channel at the dam's south end serving as the emergency spillway. Based on the visual inspection and review of available plans and reports, Bugbee Reservoir Dam is judged to be in good condition; however, during the inspection, there was a light snow cover of two to three inches which may have obscured problems such as erosion or settlement. In addition, since the reservoir area was dry, the inspection could not reveal seepage conditions. With the water level at the top of the dam the maximum spillway capacity is 6000 cfs, which is 175% of the routed test flood outflow. The storage capacity of the reservoir at the top of the dam is 1300 ac. ft.
