Summary
This concrete dam stands at a height of 11 feet and stretches to a length of 2346 feet, with a storage capacity of 2741.76 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Pol104 is for tailings containment, making it an essential structure in managing water resources in the area.
Despite being privately owned, Pol104 is regulated by the state of Florida, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities all being carried out by the state regulatory agencies. The dam's condition is currently assessed as "Not Rated" with the hazard potential labeled as "Undetermined," highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures, its role in water management in the region cannot be understated.
As a key component in the local water infrastructure, Pol104 serves as a critical resource for water storage and flood control in the region. The dam's location, design, and purpose all contribute to its importance in safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities from potential water-related risks. With its storage capacity, structural integrity, and state regulation, Pol104 plays a vital role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Polk, Florida.

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.
