Otter Brook Dam

Owner : Department of the Army - Corps of Engineers

A flood reassessment revealed that the spillway was incapable of discharging the revised design flood.

In light of the environmental, maintenance and cost factors, the dam owner decided to lower the spillway crest, while maintaining the original water level by installing fusegates.
