Kendrick-Holmes dam
Kendrick-Holmes
Kendrick-Holmes is a privately-owned recreational dam located in Chambers County, Alabama. 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.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Kendrick-Holmes
Where does the data for Kendrick-Holmes come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
