Spring Lake Dam, located in Putnam County, Florida, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. With a height of 12 feet and a hydraulic height of 10 feet, this earth-type dam spans 1446 feet and has a storage capacity of 106 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a width of 6 feet, is uncontrolled, and the dam is situated on the Deep Creek Tributary.
Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment, Spring Lake Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The dam's last inspection in May 2016 revealed its poor condition, prompting the need for risk management measures. With a moderate risk level assigned, the dam's emergency action plan status and inundation maps preparation remain unaddressed, highlighting the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and water resource preservation in the area.
