Summary
The dam, primarily used for tailings storage, was completed in 2003 and stands at a height of 35 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet. With a storage capacity of 14,000 acre-feet and a surface area of 420 acres, this earth dam is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity.
The significant hazard potential of W1 Phase2 South Pasture highlights the importance of monitoring and maintaining this critical water resource infrastructure. With a very high risk assessment rating, it is crucial to have emergency action plans in place to mitigate any potential risks to downstream communities in the event of a dam failure. The dam's controlled spillway and associated structures play a key role in managing water discharge and ensuring the safety of surrounding areas.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design and operational aspects of dams like W1 Phase2 South Pasture is essential for safeguarding our water supply and ecosystem health. The collaboration between regulatory agencies, dam owners, and designers is crucial in ensuring that these structures meet safety standards and are adequately maintained to prevent any adverse environmental impacts. By staying informed and engaged in the monitoring and management of critical infrastructure like W1 Phase2 South Pasture, we can contribute to sustainable water resource management practices for the benefit of current and future generations.

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.
