National Dam Safety Program. Holiday Lake Dam (MO 30587), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Crawford County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The dam is located in the southeastern part of Crawford County, Missouri on Shoal Creek. The dam was constructed primarily for recreational purposes, although some flood protection is also provided. The dam appears to be generally in good condition. Some sloughing of the upstream slope above the riprap was noted. The riprap consists of concrete and rock rubble from old buildings. A few small trees were observed on the downstream face of the embankment. The horizontal and vertical alignments of the crest are good. No surface cracking of the embankment was noted. Shallow auger probes into the embankment indicated the dam to consist of a reddish brown silty clay with rock fragments. Information from the builder indicates that the borrow material for construction of the embankment was obtained from the hillside in the east abutment area, the emergency spillway area and the lake area.
