National Dam Safety Program. West Millpond Dam (NY 01060), Mohawk River Basin, City of Gloversville, Fulton County, New York. Phase I Inspection Report

摘要

The dam is located on Meco Creek, a tributary of Cayadutta Creek, in the City of Gloversville. The dam was originally used by the present Owner to impound process water for dyeing operations. Presently the pond is used as a process water supply for air pollution control and air conditioning equipment at the Owner's textile plant at 111 Woodside Avenue, Gloversville, about 3500 feet downstream of the dam. Lack of vegetation on the crest of the dam near the left abutment renders that section susceptible to erosion if the dam should be overtopped. Subsidence of the crest of the dam next to both the right and left sides on the spillway and at one location 30 feet left of the spillway is indicative of some unknown problem which might adversely affect the stability of the embankment. The concrete-faced stone masonry wall which retains the upstream side of the embankment is tilted and out of alignment at several locations. The concrete facing and stone masonry of this wall is also severely deteriorated.
