Engelhard Holliman # 1 Finishing Pond Dam dam
Engelhard Holliman # 1 Finishing Pond Dam
Engelhard Holliman #1 Finishing Pond Dam, located in Wilkinson, Georgia, was completed in 1978 for the primary purpose of tailings management. This private earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and stretches 6400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 650 acre-feet. Despite being unlisted by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
The dam is not regulated by the state but undergoes inspections every five years, with the last assessment conducted in January 2018. It features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with no associated locks. The surrounding area has a surface area of 55 acres and a drainage area of 56 acres. With a normal storage capacity of 331 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing tailings and ensuring water resource sustainability in the region.
While Engelhard Holliman #1 Finishing Pond Dam may not be widely recognized, its contribution to water resource management in Georgia is significant. As climate change continues to impact water availability, it is essential to monitor and maintain such structures to safeguard against potential risks. With its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, this dam serves as a valuable asset in the region's water infrastructure.

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 Engelhard Holliman # 1 Finishing Pond Dam
Where does the data for Engelhard Holliman # 1 Finishing Pond Dam 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.
