Fl Jefferson Co Noname 1 dam
Fl Jefferson Co Noname 1
Fl Jefferson CO Noname 1 is a privately owned earth dam located in Jefferson County, Florida, along TR-LLOYD CREEK. Built in 1970, this recreational dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 780 feet, providing a storage capacity of 198 acre-feet. Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 1994.
Managed by the state of Florida, this dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with guidelines. While primarily serving recreational purposes, Fl Jefferson CO Noname 1 has a normal storage capacity of 139 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 10 acres. Although it lacks detailed risk assessment and emergency preparedness measures, the dam plays a vital role in water resource management within the region.
With a relatively low hazard potential and unclear condition assessment, Fl Jefferson CO Noname 1 presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's location, design, and management highlight the importance of monitoring and maintaining infrastructure to prevent potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities. As this dam continues to serve its recreational purpose, it underscores the ongoing need for robust regulatory oversight and proactive risk management strategies in the face of changing climatic conditions.
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 Jefferson Co Noname 1
Where does the data for Fl Jefferson 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.
