is a privately owned dam located in Hamilton, Florida, along the Suwannee River. Constructed in 1988 by ARDAMAN & ASSOCIATES, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 23 feet with a hydraulic height of 18 feet and a structural height of 28 feet. With a storage capacity of 16,000 acre-feet and a normal storage of 13,500 acre-feet, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, including tailings management.
The dam, with a length of 28,000 feet and a surface area of 736 acres, has a controlled spillway type with a width of 64 feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Sa 11 S.R. has a very high risk assessment rating of 1, indicating the need for careful risk management measures. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and the last inspection conducted was in September 2005. It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the maintenance and safety of Sa 11 S.R. to ensure the protection of the surrounding environment and communities.
In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management guidelines are not readily available. With its location in a high-risk area, the potential consequences of a dam failure could be severe. Therefore, it is crucial for relevant authorities to update and adhere to proper emergency protocols to mitigate any potential risks associated with Sa 11 S.R.
