Summary

This earth dam structure, completed in 1930, stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 740 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 68 acres and is fed by Fishhole Creek, a tributary to the Sprague River, making it a vital resource for water management in the region.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Holbrook Reservoir plays a crucial role in water management and agricultural activities in the area. The dam has a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 106 cubic feet per second. While the reservoir is not currently rated for condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every six years to ensure its structural integrity and safety standards are maintained.

Overall, Holbrook Reservoir stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management in sustaining agricultural activities in the region. Its strategic location and efficient design make it a valuable asset for irrigation purposes, contributing to the overall water security and resilience of the local community in Lake County, Oregon.

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.
