With a height of 28 feet and a length of 32,250 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 25,060 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 0. Despite having a low hazard potential and being classified as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, Oxy-9 & 10 is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and structural characteristics.
Managed by the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Oxy-9 & 10 serves purposes beyond flood control, with a primary purpose listed as "Other." The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not clearly defined in the available data, leaving some questions regarding its preparedness for potential hazards. While the dam is state-regulated and permitted for operation, further information on its inspection frequency, condition assessment, and emergency response protocols would be beneficial for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding its overall resilience and safety measures.
