National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Woodtick Reservoir Dam (CT 00294), Housatonic River Basin, Wolcott, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
The Woodtick Reservation Dam is a cyclopean masonry concrete gravity structure that is 282 feet long and 55 feet high with a 100 foot wide spillway. It has an upper gate house with 20 inch and 30 inch blowoffs. The dam is classified as intermediate in size and has a high hazard potential based on downstream habitation. Based on the visual inspection, past operational performance and hydraulic computations, the dam is judged to be in fair condition. There are areas which should be studied in order to monitor the dam's behavior such as seepage through the body and foundation, spalling and fissuring of the concrete surfaces and the internal state of the dam's body. The drainage area contributing to the dam is 8.57 square miles. The routed test flood peak outflow (Probable Maximum Flood) is 12,670 cfs which would overtop the dam by 3.1 feet. The project will pass only 35 percent of the test flood outflow before overtopping the dam.
