National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. New Pond Dam (MA 00113), Thames River Basin, Dudley, Massachusetts. Phase I Inspection Report
New Pond dam consists of two earthen embankments, one to the north and one to the south of the access road to the dam. The southerly embankment, considered the main dam, contains a masonry spillway and an abandoned outlet works. The northerly embankment is considered a separate dike. Each of the embankments is approximately 400 feet long. The dam has a height of approximately 20 feet, while the dike has a height of approximately 12 feet. The structures are in fair condition. The embankments are heavily overgrown with trees and bush. Seepage or evidence of seepage was observed at both embankments. The outlet structure, which serves as the reservoir drain, is inoperative. Hydraulic analysis indicates the test flood outflow at the dam would be approximately 580 cfs. The spillway can only pass approximately 17 percent of the test flood before overtopping of the embankments would occur. At test flood peak discharge, the average height of water overtopping the dam and dike would be approximately four inches.
