Built in 1990, this earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a hydraulic height of 40 feet. With a storage capacity of 36,000 acre-feet, it serves the primary purpose of tailings containment along the Bowlegs River. The dam's spillway width of 128 feet and controlled spillway type ensure efficient water discharge during high flow events.
Despite its significant hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating, South Pasture Isa has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's structure, comprised of stone core and soil foundation, spans a length of 24,420 feet and covers a surface area of 800 acres. The dam is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, with state-permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance. While the last inspection date dates back to 2006, this dam remains a crucial component of water resource management in the region, warranting further attention and monitoring from climate and water resource enthusiasts.
