This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans a length of 309 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 24 acre-feet. The dam's purpose also includes fire protection, stock, or small fish pond management, making it a multifunctional structure within the region.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Holt Dam is considered to have moderate risk due to its location and structural characteristics. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 10 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 25 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, its risk management measures are yet to be specified in detail. Although the dam is not under the jurisdiction of state regulatory agencies, its impact on the local water resources and climate highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts.
