Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth dam, has a significant hazard potential but is currently not rated in terms of its condition assessment. Situated in the Mobile District, the dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, making it a unique entity in the region.
Despite its lack of state oversight, Holt Dam serves as a vital recreational spot in the area, offering opportunities for activities like boating, fishing, and hiking. The dam's exact dimensions, including its height, length, and storage capacity, are not provided in the data. However, its presence in the beautiful landscape of Marion County, Alabama, adds to the charm of the region for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
With no associated structures and no state inspections or enforcement in place, Holt Dam stands as a testament to private ownership in the realm of water resource management. Its significance lies in its role as a recreational hub and its potential impact on the surrounding environment, making it a point of interest for those passionate about preserving water resources and understanding the intersection of climate and infrastructure.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
