Fl Bay Co Noname 1 dam
Fl Bay Co Noname 1
Fl Bay CO Noname 1 is a privately owned dam located in Bay, Florida, near the city of Youngstown. Built in 1970, this dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans 100 feet in length, with a primary purpose categorized as "Other." The dam is situated on TR-Little Bear Creek and is regulated and permitted by the state of Florida, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Fl Bay CO Noname 1 has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its last inspection took place in May 1994. The dam has a storage capacity of 26 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 1 acre. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have any associated structures or outlet gates, it remains a significant feature in the local water resource landscape.
With its location within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Fl Bay CO Noname 1 serves as a key infrastructure for water management in the area. While the dam may not pose a high risk, continuous monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure its long-term integrity and functionality for the surrounding community and ecosystem. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of structures like Fl Bay CO Noname 1 in the broader context of water management and climate resilience is crucial for sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Fl Bay Co Noname 1
Where does the data for Fl Bay Co Noname 1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
