Summary
The dam, constructed for tailings storage, stands at a structural height of 105 feet and spans a length of 7867 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 1254 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 1792 acre-feet, serving as a vital structure for water resource management in the area.
This earth-type dam, situated on an unnamed pond, is regulated by the state of Florida and has state-permitting, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms in place to ensure its safety and compliance. With a controlled spillway type and a spillway width of 64 feet, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 110 cubic feet per second. Despite its very high risk rating, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it's crucial to recognize the importance of structures like Bradley Jxn 5 in managing water resources effectively while also mitigating potential risks. By understanding the dam's design, purpose, and operational features, stakeholders can work towards enhancing its safety and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions and increasing water management challenges. Through continued monitoring, assessment, and risk management efforts, Bradley Jxn 5 can continue to fulfill its crucial role in the local water infrastructure while minimizing potential hazards and ensuring long-term sustainability.

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.
