The dam is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and holds a state permit for operation, inspection, and enforcement. The primary purpose of Hil18 is for tailings storage, and it is classified as an earth dam with a height of 12.14 feet and a storage capacity of 3292.56 acre-feet.
This dam, situated near an unnamed pond, has a surface area of 67 acres and a normal storage capacity of 897.93 acre-feet. While the hazard potential is currently undetermined and the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the dam has not undergone a recent inspection and lacks an emergency action plan. The risk assessment, emergency contacts, and inundation maps are also not up to date, indicating a potential need for increased monitoring and management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
With its location in a pristine natural setting and the potential risks associated with its operation, Hil18 presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's history, purpose, design, and regulatory oversight provide a rich tapestry for further exploration and analysis in the context of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
