Summary
2, also known as Pickett South, is a private-owned earth dam located in Walton, Florida, along the Bruce Creek. Constructed in 1957 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation. With a height of 16 feet and a length of 900 feet, Dam No. 2 has a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet, making it a valuable resource for the surrounding community.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Dam No. 2 is regulated and inspected by the NWFWMD, ensuring its safety and functionality. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a maximum discharge capacity of 49 cubic feet per second. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the last inspection was conducted in May 1994. With a surface area of 8 acres and a drainage area of 0.09 square miles, Dam No. 2 provides a picturesque setting for recreational activities and wildlife habitat in the Hunter Hill area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Dam No. 2 for its role in providing essential water storage, flood control, and recreational opportunities in the region. As a privately-owned structure with a primary purpose of recreation, this dam showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices and the integration of multipurpose infrastructure in addressing environmental and community needs. With its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight, Dam No. 2 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of various agencies in safeguarding water resources for current and future generations.

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.
