DESCRIPTION: The reconstruction of the Roraback Pond Dam consisted of the complete reconstruction of the earthen dam incorporating a concrete cutoff wall. An overflow spillway and a new drawdown chamber were also added. Interesting features of this project included the installation of a diversion structure from Leadmine Brook to Roraback Pond. Also, two overflow ponds were created downstream from the spillway to provide new wetland habitat for both flora and fauna.
Macchi Engineers' responsibilities included full-time, on-site construction administration and inspection.
