This document is a photographic site assessment of Thomaston Dam in Connecticut, showing the condition and layout of the dam crest road and associated infrastructure.

The crest road measures approximately 2,000 linear feet and connects to an entryway adjacent to Hill Road, which may be gated. A turn-around area near the dam facilities measures approximately 3,400 square feet. The photographs document pavement conditions along the crest road, revealing significant cracking and deterioration throughout the surface. Additional images show the dam structure itself, concrete approach sections with visible spalling and surface damage, metal railings and cable barriers in varying conditions, and a concrete utility building located at the site. The surrounding area consists of forested terrain on both sides of the dam, with the Naugattuck River visible below. Photographs also depict the gate entrance location, signage indicating dam operation hours (8:00 AM-8:00 PM), and multiple views of the crest road surface showing longitudinal and transverse cracking patterns consistent with aging asphalt pavement. The site assessment includes views of drainage structures, concrete pads, and deteriorated expansion joints, which appear to require maintenance or rehabilitation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the facility, as indicated by signage visible in the aerial photographs.
