Summary

This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24 feet. Completed in 1976, it serves primarily for tailings storage with a capacity of 16,000 acre-feet and a storage area of 525 acres.

Despite being regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and undergoing state inspections, the dam's hazard potential is classified as low, with a very high risk assessment rating of 1. The controlled spillway, with a width of 64 feet, ensures a maximum discharge of 220 cubic feet per second. Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its structural height of 32 feet suggests a sturdy design to withstand potential risks.

Sa 2 S.C. plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, highlighting the intersection of water infrastructure, climate resilience, and environmental protection. Its location and purpose make it a key asset in the local ecosystem, with implications for flood control, water supply, and habitat conservation. As climate change intensifies, understanding and maintaining the integrity of dams like Sa 2 S.C. is essential for sustainable water management practices and safeguarding communities against potential risks.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
