Summary

Completed in 1971, this Earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a hydraulic height of 20 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 10,500 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of tailings storage and is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms in place.

With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk rating, Kingsford Csa Dl is a crucial structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor. The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 64 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 320 cubic feet per second. Despite its condition being listed as "Not Rated," efforts towards risk management and emergency preparedness are essential for ensuring the safety and integrity of this important water infrastructure along the Alafia River.

As an integral part of the local water management system, Kingsford Csa Dl plays a vital role in flood control and water storage for the surrounding area. Its location, design, and regulatory oversight make it a key asset to protect against potential risks and ensure the sustainable use of water resources in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the maintenance, inspection, and emergency response plans for Kingsford Csa Dl is crucial for promoting resilience and sustainability in water management practices.

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.
