This dam, completed in 1985, serves primarily for tailings purposes and is categorized as an Earth dam made with Stone core and Soil foundation. It stands at a height of 15 feet with a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, stretching over a length of 5275 feet and storing a maximum of 2200 acre-feet of water.
Managed by the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Usac N4n has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment rates it as very high, underscoring the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 5 feet, capable of discharging a maximum of 3 cubic feet per second. Although the last inspection was conducted in January 2006, the dam has not been given a condition assessment date, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to ensure its safety and integrity in the face of potential climate challenges.
