The dam has a storage capacity of 47 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2.2 acres, with a drainage area of 0.02 square miles. Despite its relatively low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Dyers Hollow has not been rated for its condition and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP).
While the dam's purpose and associated structures are not specified, it is noteworthy that Dyers Hollow has no state jurisdiction, regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement. This suggests a potential gap in oversight that could impact the dam's safety and maintenance. With a spillway type listed as "Uncontrolled" and no outlet gates, it is essential that the dam owner takes proactive measures to ensure the structural integrity and safety of Dyers Hollow, especially given its moderate risk assessment rating.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area may find Dyers Hollow an interesting case study for examining the regulatory landscape and emergency preparedness practices surrounding privately-owned dams. The dam's location in a rural setting and lack of state oversight present unique challenges that warrant further attention to ensure the safety and resilience of water infrastructure in the region.
