Summary

Lucie, Florida, is a key infrastructure managed by the local government for irrigation purposes. Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this structure plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction and irrigation in the region. With a dam height of 27 feet and a storage capacity of 278 acre-feet, Control Strct #1 covers a surface area of 10 acres and serves a drainage area of 40 square miles.

This stone-core dam spans 64 feet in length and has a maximum discharge capacity of 2500 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, the structure has not been rated for its condition as of yet, with the last inspection conducted in April 1994. While it meets state regulatory requirements and undergoes regular inspections, there is room for further assessment and potential risk management measures to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the community.

Control Strct #1 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of various agencies and designers to support water resource management in the area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like Control Strct #1 will play a vital role in securing water resources for irrigation and mitigating flood risks in the region. With proper maintenance and risk assessment measures in place, this infrastructure will continue to serve its purpose effectively in the years to come.

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.
