Summary
Built in 1980 by BCI Engineers & Scientists, this earth dam stands at 40 feet tall and spans 11,140 feet in length. It holds a maximum storage capacity of 8,500 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 218 acres.
The dam, situated on Horse Creek, is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures. With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, N1 Cf North is a critical structure in the region's water resource management. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 64 feet and has a maximum discharge capacity of 20 cubic feet per second.
Despite not having a condition assessment rating, N1 Cf North remains a key component of the water infrastructure in Florida. With its strategic location and design, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water storage for the surrounding area. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate impact will find N1 Cf North to be a fascinating structure with important implications for the region's water security.

Dam Data Reference
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.
