National Program For Inspection Of Non Federal Dams Upper Reservoir Dam Nh 00049 Nhwrb Number 10806 Connecticut River Basin Hanover New Hampshire Phase I Inspection Report

Upper Reservoir Dam is a earthen structure with an overall length of 1340 ft. The dam has a height of 30 ft. as measured from the streambed to the crest of the dam. The top width is 9 ft. The upstream face is on a 2.25 horizontal to 1 vertical slope and the downstream slope is 2 horizontal to 1 vertical. The spillway consists of a 25 ft. long crest, concrete weir with training walls, which outlets to a 10 ft. wide stone wall channel. The dam is considered to be in good condition. It is small in size with a significant hazard potential. Keywords include: Visual inspection, Dam safety.

The dam is an earthen structure with an overall length of 1023 ft. and a maximum height of 33 ft. The dam is considered to be in poor condition. Seepage was noted both under the stone arch bridge and at the joint of the spillway weir and spillway apron slab. It is small in size with a hazard potential of significant.

The dam is a concrete buttress structure with extensive earthfill at the downstream face. It is 526 ft. high and 43 ft high. The dam is considered to be in poor condition and the dike is considered to be in fair condition. Major soft, wet area with active seepage discharge at the downstream toe of the dam near the right abutment is among major concerns. It is intermediate in size with a high hazard potential.

The dam is constructed of rock and earth filled timber cribbing and is equipped with 6.2 ft. of nonfailing flashboards. It is about 275 ft. long and 15 ft. high. It is small in size with a high hazard potential. One half of the PMF has been adopted as the appropriate test flood. The dam is in fair condition at the present time. There are various remedial measures which require attention.

The Babbidge Reservoir Dam is a 38-foot-high earth embankment with a reinforced concrete corewall. There is a 36-foot-long concrete overflow spillway at the left abutment and a gatehouse at the crest which controls flow from the reservoir and from the Quarry Dam upstream. It is small in size with a high hazard potential. Significant economic loss and possible loss of more than a few lives could result from the event of a dam failure. With stoplogs, the spillway is capable of passing 9% of the test flood. The dam is in fair condition. Remedial measures should be undertaken by the owner. Keywords include: Inspection, Dam safety, Connecticut River Basin, Roxbury, New Hampshire, and Roaring Brook.

Based on the visual inspection, available records and past performance, the dam is considered to be in fair condition. Based on size and hazard classifications in accordance with Corps guidelines, the test flood is the PMF. In addition to long term recommendations, there are several remedial measures which should be implemented immediately.

The dam is a concrete gravity overflow structure constructed between three depressions in a ledge outcropping that forms the bottom of the Ammonoosuc River channel at this location. The dam is considered to be in poor condition. There are various major concerns which should be corrected to assure the continued performance of the dam. It is small in size with a significant hazard potential. (Author).

The dam is an earthfill gravity structure about 23 ft. high and 115 ft. long. The dam is considered to be in fair condition. It is intermediate in size with a significant hazard potential. There are various recommendations that should be implemented by the owner. (Author).

The dam is a run-of-the-river dam consisting of a rock filled timber crib overflow section capped with a 10 inch thick concrete slab. It is 150 ft. long with a maximum height of 17 ft. The maximum storage capacity at top of dam is 112 acre ft. The dam is considered to be in poor condition. The dam is small in size with a significant hazard potential. (Author).

Rice Reservoir Dam has a hydraulic height of 48 ft., is 12 ft. wide, and is 980 ft. kong, It is earthen embankment dam, having a reinforced concrete core and a small chute-type spillway. The dam is in fair condition. It is intermediate in size with a significant hazard potential.
