Summary
Built in 1978 for tailings storage, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 4800 feet, with a storage capacity of 6500 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspections, with a significant hazard potential noted.
Despite not being rated for its condition, Noralyn N-13 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 790 cubic feet per second, the dam helps regulate water flow and storage, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall or drought. Its strategic location and design make it a key infrastructure for ensuring water security in Polk County.
The dam's location within the Jacksonville District adds to its significance in the larger water management system. While specific details about emergency preparedness and risk assessment are not provided, the presence of Noralyn N-13 underscores the importance of monitoring and maintaining critical infrastructure for water resources and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
