Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet with a length of 1580 feet, providing a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet. Despite being unlisted for foundations, the dam is maintained and inspected by the state authorities, with the last inspection conducted in November 2004. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Holloway Lake Dam # 2 is deemed to be in satisfactory condition, although not formally rated by experts.
Located in the Charleston District, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks or lock dimensions specified. The surrounding area covers 35 acres with a drainage area of 130 acres, making it a significant water resource for the region. While the dam has not been modified or updated recently, it continues to serve its recreational purpose effectively. The risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and sustainability of the structure.
With its picturesque setting and vital role in providing recreational opportunities in the region, Holloway Lake Dam # 2 stands as a notable feature in the water resource landscape of Georgia. Although privately owned, the dam's significance extends to the broader community, as it contributes to the local ecosystem and water management efforts. As climate change impacts water resources globally, maintaining and monitoring structures like Holloway Lake Dam # 2 becomes crucial for ensuring the resilience and sustainability of water systems in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
