National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Plymouth Reservoir Dam (CT 00286), Naugatuck River Basin, Plymouth, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
Plymouth Reservoir Dam, also known as the Thomaston Reservoir Dam, consists of an earth embankment structure with a maximum height of 25 feet and a total length of 730 feet including a 31.7 foot long concrete and stone masonry overflow spillway located 200 feet from the right end of the dam. The outlet works, located to the left of the spillway, consist of a 12-inch supply main and 10-inch low level outlet or blowoff through the dam, and an upstream gatehouse. Based on the visual inspection, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. Features that could affect the future integrity of the dam are downstream seepage, the lack of riprap slope protection on the upstream slope above the waterline and settlement of existing riprap, the unknown working condition of the intake gates, and the downstream location of the control valve on the low level outlet or blowoff. The Test Flood inflow of 600 cfs results in a Test Flood routed outflow of 390 cfs that would just reach the top of the dam. The spillway capacity is 410 cfs or 105 percent of the Test Flood routed outlfow.
