Summary
Completed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 56 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1039 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", indicating a potential need for further evaluation and maintenance.
With a significant hazard potential, S-94 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area. The dam also serves the purpose of irrigation, showcasing its multi-faceted utility in water resource management. Although the last inspection date is recorded as far back as 1905, the dam is equipped with state-permitting, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure its continued functionality and safety.
As a key component in flood risk reduction efforts in Miami-Dade, S-94 stands as a testament to the importance of resilient water infrastructure in the face of climate challenges. With the potential for future modifications and risk management measures, this dam serves as a vital resource for the community, highlighting the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
