Summary
Built for the primary purpose of containing tailings, this dam stands at a height of 10.52 feet and has a storage capacity of 44,815.86 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 21,804.62 acre-feet and a surface area of 429 acres, Pol105 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
The dam is situated on an unnamed pond in S16, T32S, R24E, and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Florida. While its hazard potential is labeled as "undetermined" and its condition assessment is marked as "not rated," the dam is still subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Despite lacking certain risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols, Pol105 remains a significant infrastructure for water storage and conservation in the area.
Overall, Pol105 serves as a vital component of the water management infrastructure in Polk County, Florida. While there are some uncertainties regarding its hazard potential and condition assessment, the dam's role in storing water for various purposes, including tailings containment, highlights its importance in the region's water resource management efforts. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, monitoring and maintaining structures like Pol105 will be crucial for ensuring sustainable water management practices in the area.

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.
