Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at 18 feet high and spans 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 due to its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates.
Situated on the TR-OCHLOCKNEE river, Gully Dam serves purposes of irrigation and recreation, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts to its scenic surroundings. While the dam has not been inspected since May 1994 and is currently in a condition that is not rated, it remains under state regulation with permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols in place. The dam's location in Lake Iamonia offers a tranquil environment for outdoor activities, making it a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
Although Gully Dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures like an inundation map and emergency action plan, its risk management measures are being monitored to mitigate potential hazards. With its historical significance and ongoing relevance for water resource management and recreational use, Gully Dam continues to be a notable landmark in Leon, Florida, attracting individuals interested in the intersection of water resources and climate dynamics.
