The dam, completed in 1962, is primarily used for recreation purposes and stands at a height of 7.6 feet with a hydraulic height of 7 feet. The flowage has a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 55 acres, making it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
The dam at Holzer Flowage has a controlled spillway type and a low hazard potential, with a fair condition assessment as of May 2020. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the flowage is situated in an area with a very high risk assessment (1), underscoring the importance of proper risk management measures. While the flowage has not been significantly modified over the years, regular inspections are conducted with a frequency of 10 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
For those interested in exploring water resources and climate dynamics, Holzer Flowage offers a picturesque setting with opportunities for outdoor recreation and environmental observation. Its location along the TR-SHOULDER CR river/stream in Wisconsin provides a unique perspective on the intersection of water management, recreational activities, and natural ecosystems. With its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Holzer Flowage serves as a valuable case study for understanding the maintenance and management of dam infrastructure in the context of changing climate patterns and environmental risks.
