Summary

Completed in 1998, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a hydraulic height of 30 feet, serving a primary purpose of tailings storage. The dam stretches over 13,900 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 15,000 acre-feet, with a controlled spillway width of 64 feet to manage a maximum discharge of 20 cubic feet per second into the Peace River.

Managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, this dam is subject to state regulations and inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Although the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the risk assessment deems it as very high, warranting attention and potentially additional risk management measures. With its location in a critical area along the Peace River, water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in monitoring the performance and maintenance of E2 Mix Area South Pasture to safeguard against potential environmental impacts and ensure its long-term sustainability.

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.
