Built in 1970, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 300 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet. While the primary purpose of this dam is listed as 'Other', it is regulated and permitted by the state of Florida, ensuring that it meets inspection and enforcement standards.
Despite its low hazard potential, the condition of Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 5 has not been rated since its last inspection in May 1994. With a lack of information on emergency action plans, risk assessments, and inundation maps, there are potential gaps in the dam's management and safety protocols. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to advocate for comprehensive monitoring and maintenance of dams like Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 5 to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
