The dam, classified as an Earth dam, stands at a height of 13.5 feet and has a length of 15,000 feet, providing a storage capacity of 17,346.56 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes.
The dam, situated on an unnamed pond in Hillsborough County, Florida, poses an undetermined hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its critical role in tailings storage, key information such as the year of completion and last inspection date remain undisclosed. With its location in a high-risk hurricane zone, the dam's risk management measures, emergency action plan (EAP), and inundation maps preparation are currently unknown, raising concerns for potential environmental and public safety risks in the event of a catastrophic failure.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts monitoring Hil10 should be aware of the lack of available data on its safety and risk management protocols. With the dam's proximity to the Jacksonville District and its status as a privately-owned structure, stakeholders are urged to advocate for increased transparency and accountability in the monitoring and maintenance of this essential water resource infrastructure. Additional information on the dam's condition assessment, emergency preparedness, and risk mitigation strategies is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding community and environment.
