Summary
Helena County. Completed in 1945, this structure serves as a critical water resource for the area, with a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a normal storage of 50 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 8 feet and has a hydraulic height of 6 feet, providing essential water management capabilities for the region.
Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Hollands Pond is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water storage. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the structure continues to support the surrounding ecosystem and water needs in the area.
Representing a key feature along the TR-Joseph Branch river, the Hollands Pond dam is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and serves various other purposes beyond flood control. While the dam has not undergone recent modifications or assessments, its historical significance and ongoing functionality make it an essential component of water resource management in Louisiana. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hollands Pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of climate change and ensuring water security for local communities.

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.
