Summary
Standing at a height of 15 feet and stretching 738 feet in length, this dam boasts a storage capacity of 1395 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 51 acres. Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of a current condition rating, Hb1 remains a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking water-based activities in the area.
Managed by the state regulatory agencies and subject to permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols, Hb1 ensures compliance with safety standards and environmental regulations. Although no federal agency involvement or funding has been reported, this dam plays a crucial role in local water resource management and flood control. With its location near the UNNAMED POND and within the jurisdiction of Holmes County, Hb1 serves as a vital recreational and water resource asset for the surrounding community.
While the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently unknown, its presence contributes to the overall water landscape in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, Hb1's structural integrity and operational efficiency will be essential in maintaining the safety and sustainability of this water infrastructure for future generations of water and climate enthusiasts.

Dam Data Reference
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.
