Summary
With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam serves as a fish and wildlife pond as well as a recreational area. Standing at a height of 36 feet and a length of 785 feet, it holds a normal storage capacity of 1456 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 55 acres.
Managed by the Northwest Florida Water Management District, the dam poses a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition. Inspected in 1994, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulatory standards. With a spillway width of 75 feet, Lake Victor Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area and providing recreational opportunities for visitors.
Designed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Lake Victor Dam plays a vital role in water management and conservation in the region. With its strategic location on Limestone Branch, the dam not only provides recreational benefits but also contributes to the overall ecosystem health and water quality of the area. As a key structure for both fish and wildlife conservation and recreational activities, Lake Victor Dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management in Florida.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
