Summary
Built in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, with additional functions including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. Despite being state-regulated and inspected, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
This dam serves as a vital resource for recreational activities in the area, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other leisure pursuits. Positioned within the scenic landscape of Okaloosa County, Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 2 provides a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking to connect with nature and enjoy the local waterways. However, with the last inspection dating back to 1994, there is a need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam for both recreational users and the surrounding ecosystem.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 2 to safeguard against potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices. By staying informed about the state of such structures and advocating for proper maintenance and inspection protocols, we can help protect our water resources and preserve the natural beauty of our environment for future generations to enjoy.

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.
