This earth dam, completed in 1974, has a height of 33 feet and a length of 22,935 feet, with a primary purpose of tailings storage. The dam has a storage capacity of 14,208 acre-feet and a surface area of 83 acres, serving as a vital structure for water resource management in the region.
Despite being regulated and permitted by the state of Florida, Area E is categorized as having low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition assessment. The dam overlooks an unnamed pond and is under the jurisdiction of the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With no associated structures and no history of modifications, Area E stands as a significant landmark for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams in the region.
While Area E poses a low risk in terms of potential hazards, its role in water storage and management cannot be understated. As a privately-owned earth dam with state oversight, this structure serves as a crucial component in the region's water infrastructure network. With its relatively low height and hydraulic features, Area E represents a balance between human intervention and natural resource preservation, making it a noteworthy site for those interested in the intersection of water resources and climate resilience.
