This project delivers a complete design report showing a number of options for the Northampton Street Dam to be presented to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Included in the report is a characterized list of the designs considered in order of best fit. The engineering behind the designs is also mathematically shown and displayed in conceptual AutoCAD images. This includes a hydraulic analysis of the Northampton Street Dam to determine the river operating heights and if modifications of the dam would alter present flow conditions. Each design also has a cost analysis section that is based on 2007-2008 expected pricing guides.

• This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
