National Program for Inspection of Non-Federal Dams. Fitchville Pond Dam (CT 00510), Thames River Basin, Bozrah, Connecticut. Phase I Inspection Report
Fitchville Pond Dam is a stone masonry and concrete gravity dam constructed about 1871 and is used solely for recreation. The dam has a height of 27 feet and is approximately 200 feet in length. The spillway is an uncontrolled ogee overflow structure which comprises the right two thirds of the dam. The outlet works for the dam consists of three manually operated sluice gates which discharge flows into a waste way at the left abutment of the dam. Due to its age, Fitchville Pond Dam was neither designed nor constructed by present state-of-the-art procedures. Based upon the visual inspection at the site and the lack of engineering, operational and maintenance data, there are areas of concern which must be corrected to assure the long-term performance of this dam. The dam is considered to be in FAIR condition. The dam is classified as SMALL in size and a SIGNIFICANT hazard structure in accordance with the recommended guidelines established by the Corps of Engineers.
