Summary

With a height of 25 feet and a length of 1025 feet, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, including fish and wildlife pond activities. Situated on Rocky Creek, the dam has a storage capacity of 383 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1 is regulated by the Northwest Florida Water Management District and undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as satisfactory, with the last inspection conducted in May 2014. The dam's location in Santa Rosa County, Florida, makes it a vital structure for water management and recreational activities in the region.

With a surface area of 42 acres and a drainage area of 0.73 square miles, Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1 plays a crucial role in maintaining water levels and providing a habitat for fish and wildlife. The dam's spillway width of 40 feet and maximum discharge capacity of 2400 cubic feet per second ensure effective water flow management during heavy rainfall events. As a key component of the water infrastructure in the area, this dam serves as a vital resource for both residents and the local ecosystem, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change.

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. 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

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, 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.
