Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1977, serves primarily for tailings storage with a height of 23 feet and a length of 13,730 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 12,144 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 528 acres. Although the dam is not currently rated for condition assessment, it is classified as having a significant hazard potential.
With a maximum discharge of 220 cubic feet per second, Fort Green Fg-2 plays a critical role in water resource management in the region. It is regulated by the state of Florida and is subject to regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it is essential for stakeholders, especially in the event of a potential emergency or risk assessment in the future.
Located within the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Green Fg-2 stands as a vital infrastructure for water control and conservation efforts. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the condition of dams like Fort Green Fg-2, it underscores the importance of sustainable management practices to ensure the safety and integrity of these critical structures for the surrounding communities and ecosystems.

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.
