Summary

Managed by the US Army, this recreational lake offers a serene setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. The dam, completed in 1970, stands at a height of 25 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, making it a vital water source for the surrounding area.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Holland Lake provides a safe environment for visitors to explore its 10-acre surface area. The dam structure, primarily made of earth with a buttress core type, is inspected regularly by the US Army to ensure its safety and operational efficiency. The spillway, equipped with vertical lift outlet gates, serves as a means for controlled water release during periods of excess inflow, with a maximum discharge capacity of 160 cubic feet per second.

Overall, Holland Lake offers a tranquil retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to connect with nature in the beautiful Hoke County, North Carolina. Its well-maintained facilities, responsible management practices, and picturesque surroundings make it a must-visit destination for those looking to appreciate the importance of sustainable water conservation in a recreational setting.

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. 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

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, 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.
