National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Mono Pond Dam (CT 00258), Thames River Basin, Columbia, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
The dam consists of a concrete principal spillway, embankments to the right and left of this spillway and an emergency spillway near the right end of the dam. The principal spillway is a concrete chute with weir-boards at the upstream end and the emergency spillway is an unlined channel cut into the right end of the embankment. A swale, which will overflow to the toe of the dam at approximately the same elevation as the auxiliary spillway, exists at the left end of the dam. There is no low-level outlet at the dam. Based upon the visual inspection at the site and past performance, the dam appears to be in fair condition with items which require repair, maintenance and monitoring. These include spalling of the concrete walls at the principal spillway, seepage through the embankments, trees and brush on the embankments and in the emergency spillway, erosion of the upstream slopes, extending the embankment to fill the swale at left end of the dam, and debris and overhanging brush in the spillway discharge channels. The total spillway capacity at the same pool level is 820 cfs, which is greater than 100% of the routed test flood outflow.
