Holmes Co Noname dam
Holmes Co Noname
Holmes CO Noname is a privately owned dam located in Vernon, Florida, that serves the primary purpose of irrigation. Constructed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet with a length of 180 feet, providing a storage capacity of 93 acre-feet. Although it has a low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its current condition, and the last inspection took place in May 1994.
Situated on TR-OPEN CREEK in Holmes County, Florida, Holmes CO Noname is regulated by the state and is subject to permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the state and operates within the guidelines set forth by the Florida regulatory agency. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it remains an essential structure for irrigation purposes in the area.
Overall, Holmes CO Noname is a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, providing irrigation water to the surrounding agricultural lands. With its low hazard potential and state regulation, this dam contributes to the efficient management of water resources in the region. As climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of dams like Holmes CO Noname is crucial in addressing the challenges posed by climate change and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources for future generations.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Holmes Co Noname
Where does the data for Holmes Co Noname come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
