Summary

Built in 1974, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 17 feet with a hydraulic height of 12 feet. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities in the area. The dam is situated on the TR OSALIGEE CR river/stream and is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

With a significant hazard potential, Kendrick-Holmes has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite being a privately owned structure, it is not regulated by the state and has not undergone any recent inspections or maintenance. The dam does not have any associated structures or outlet gates, and its spillway type and width are unspecified. Although the dam has not been assessed for risk or undergone emergency preparedness measures, its location in the MT PISGAH CH COMMUNITY adds to its importance for recreational activities and water resource enthusiasts in the area.

Overall, Kendrick-Holmes dam serves as a vital recreational resource in Chambers County, Alabama, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and water-based recreation. While its condition assessment and emergency preparedness measures remain unknown, the dam's historical significance and role in providing recreational opportunities make it an important landmark in the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in exploring the dam's construction, storage capacity, and potential impact on the surrounding environment.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
