Summary
With a storage capacity of 681 acre-feet, the dam serves as a water resource for the area, providing a normal storage of 165 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 55 acres. Despite being unlisted as state regulated, the dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in June 2016, to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
The dam's primary purpose and associated structures remain unspecified, but its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating indicate a level of caution in its management. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and while it has not been modified in recent years, it is essential to have emergency action plans and risk management measures in place to address any potential threats. With its strategic location and significance in water resource management, Lake Holiday Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure for the community and environment enthusiasts to monitor and protect.
In the heart of Leesburg, Lake Holiday Dam plays a vital role in the local water supply infrastructure, serving as a key component in the region's water management system. Its proximity to Fox Creek and the Savannah District underscores its importance in maintaining water levels and ensuring proper drainage for the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the dam's condition and maintenance will be crucial in safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring a sustainable water supply for the community.

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.
