Summary

This picturesque dam, designed by Huntington(MOD), stands at a height of 22.5 feet and spans 585 feet in length, holding a maximum storage capacity of 325 acre-feet of water from the TR-ROCK CREEK. The dam's spillway, an uncontrolled type with a width of 102 feet, allows for a maximum discharge of 5301 cubic feet per second.

Despite its age, Holiday Hills Club Lake Dam remains in fair condition as of the last assessment in August 2017. The dam has undergone modifications in 1994 to enhance its structural integrity. The dam's hazard potential is not available, but it presents a moderate risk level of 3 on a scale. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) oversees the regulation, inspection, and enforcement of the dam, ensuring its safety for the surrounding community in Bennett (Lakota) and beyond. Overall, Holiday Hills Club Lake Dam serves as a vital water resource for irrigation and recreation in the area, offering a serene and functional structure for water enthusiasts to appreciate and enjoy.

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.
