EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A hydraulic capacity analysis was completed for the Holding Lake Dam in Wake County, North
Carolina. The purpose of the study was to analyze the existing potential of the dams for
overtopping during predetermined specified rainfall events. The analyses were completed using
the United States Army Corps of Engineers developed software Hydrologic Engineering Center –
Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) in combination with ArcGIS to develop required input
parameters. The rainfall events included in the analyses consist of 24-hour durations with return
periods of 25 years, 50 years, 100 years, 200 years, 500 years and 1000 years. Results of the
analyses indicate that this structure is hydraulically adequate for all of the above rainfall events.
The dam maintained a freeboard of 2.9 – 3.9 feet during these events. Data, input parameters
and final results can be found on the attached summary sheets and in the appendices of this
report as well as in the associated electronic file in which all program files are stored. The
elevation-storage calculation does not include the storage below the normal pool elevation for
this study. All elevations in this report are based on North American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD88).
