Summary

This earth dam, with a height of 12.89 feet and a storage capacity of 1066.97 acre-feet, serves the primary purpose of storing tailings. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and falls under state jurisdiction, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Despite being categorized as having an undetermined hazard potential and not yet rated for its condition assessment, Pol27 remains a critical structure for water resource management in the region. The dam's normal storage capacity of 512.02 acre-feet and its location in a drainage area make it an important feature for mitigating flood risks and maintaining water supply stability. With its proximity to the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Pol27 plays a vital role in the overall water management infrastructure of the area.

While specific details about the dam's construction year, modification history, and emergency preparedness measures are not provided in the dataset, the presence of state regulatory oversight and the acknowledgment of its importance for tailings storage signify the significance of Pol27 in the local water resource and climate resilience context. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and analyze the impact of dams like Pol27 on the surrounding environment, understanding their structural integrity and operational protocols is crucial for sustainable water management practices.

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.
