Summary

The dam is of the earth type, with a height of 100 feet and a hydraulic height of 95 feet, making it a significant structure with a structural height of 105 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 512 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 110 cubic feet per second, making it a crucial feature for managing water resources in the area.

With a hazard potential rated as significant and a risk assessment indicating a very high risk level, Mulberry E is an essential structure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam plays a critical role in flood control and water storage for the surrounding area. With controlled spillways and a spillway width of 64 feet, it is equipped to manage excess water flow effectively, ensuring the safety and stability of the dam.

As part of the Jacksonville District, Mulberry E highlights the complex network of infrastructure designed to support water management in Florida. With state-regulated permitting, inspection, and enforcement, the dam demonstrates a commitment to ensuring its structural integrity and functionality. Its location near an unnamed pond and its capacity to store 358 acre-feet of water under normal conditions make it a vital component of the local water resource system, serving both practical and environmental purposes.

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.
