Summary

The dam, designated as a Earth-type structure, stands at a height of 10.11 feet and has a length of 10,522 feet. It has a storage capacity of 6,882.1 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 125 acres. While the hazard potential of the dam is currently listed as undetermined, its condition assessment is labeled as "Not Rated."

The dam is situated near an unnamed pond and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Florida, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The structure is not operated by any federal agency and has no associated federal fundings or regulatory oversight. While the risk assessment details and emergency preparedness measures for Pol17 are not clearly defined, the dam's location within the Jackson District adds an interesting dimension to its management and potential environmental impacts.

Given its unique location and state-regulated status, Pol17 presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's private ownership, coupled with its usage for tailings storage, raises questions about its long-term sustainability and the potential implications for the surrounding environment. Further research and monitoring of this structure could provide valuable insights into the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
