Section 20 Treatment Plant Pond 2 dam
Section 20 Treatment Plant Pond 2
Section 20 Treatment Plant Pond 2, also known as Holding Pond No 2 Dam, is a private-owned structure located in Saline, Arkansas. Completed in 1977, this earth-type dam has a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 156 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is categorized as 'Other', with low hazard potential and a condition assessment of 'Not Rated'. The dam is situated along Holly Creek-TR, within the Little Rock District, and is not regulated by the state.
This pond plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area, providing storage for 156 acre-feet of water with a maximum discharge capacity of 237 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, it serves as an essential infrastructure for storing and regulating water flow along the Holly Creek-TR. The dam's construction and design were overseen by private entities, reflecting the collaborative efforts to enhance water resource sustainability in the region.
While Section 20 Treatment Plant Pond 2 may not be subject to state regulations or inspections, its strategic location and purpose make it a significant asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As a part of the water infrastructure network in Saline, Arkansas, this dam contributes to flood control, water supply management, and overall environmental resilience in the region. The structure's design and functionality highlight the importance of private sector involvement in sustaining water resources for communities and ecosystems.
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 Section 20 Treatment Plant Pond 2
Where does the data for Section 20 Treatment Plant Pond 2 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 Low 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.
