Summary
The earth dam has a height of 15 feet and a length of 450 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 85 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 45 acre-feet. It is situated on TR-Long Creek and is under state regulation, with inspection, permitting, and enforcement conducted by the state regulatory agency.
Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam poses a moderate risk, with a risk assessment rating of 3. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks. It has not been inspected since May 1994, and its condition is currently listed as "Not Rated." Although the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of any federal agency, it is still subject to state oversight and regulation.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Hyberts Dairy Dam an intriguing structure due to its recreational purpose and moderate risk assessment. With its location in Walton County, Florida, and its association with TR-Long Creek, the dam offers a unique opportunity to study the intersection of water management, environmental conservation, and public safety. Further exploration of the dam's design, construction, and regulatory history could provide valuable insights into managing and maintaining water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
