National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Bungee Lake Lower Dam (CT 00441), Thames River Basin, Woodstock, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Program
The Bungee Lake Lower Dam, built in 1964 to provide a recreational facility, is an earth embankment impounding a maximum of 1435 acre-feet of water on Bungee Brook in Woodstock, Connecticut. The project totals approximately 1400 feet in length, including two knolls which divide the dam into three embankments. The right embankment is 390 feet long not including spillway, 30 feet wide at the top and 11.0 feet high. The center embankment is 250 feet in length, 30 feet wide at the top and 16 feet in height. The left embankment is 150 feet long, 30 feet wide at the top and is about 15.5 feet in height. The spillway is located at the far right end of the dam and consists of three 20 foot wide section separated by two concrete piers, and a wing wall at each end of the spillway. The weir is a concrete ogee section with a concrete energy dissipator located 20 feet downstream. The low-level outlet is a 21 inch corrugated metal pipe with a wooden sluice gate to control flow at the upstream end. The spillway capacity with the lake level to the top of the left embankment (elevation 598.0) is 1775 cfs, or 48% of the routed test flood outflow. Based upon the visual inspection at the site and past performance of the dam, the project is judged to be in poor condition. There are items requiring repair, maintenance and monitoring such as severe deterioration of the concrete structures, slope erosion, dumping of miscellaneous material on the downstream slope, lack of riprap protection on the upstream slope, and seepage.
