Summary
The dam, constructed of earth, stands at a height of 6.17 feet and has a storage capacity of 12,269.09 acre-feet. While the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the dam is state-regulated and subject to inspection, enforcement, and permitting by the relevant agencies in Florida.
Situated on an unnamed pond, Pol36 is under the jurisdiction of the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being categorized as having an "Undetermined" hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment and management measures are currently not available. While the emergency action plan status is unclear, the dam does not have a history of modifications and is not associated with any federal agencies for funding or ownership.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Pol36 an interesting case study for its unique location, private ownership, and state regulation. The dam's purpose and design characteristics, along with its storage capacity and geographic coordinates, provide valuable insights into the management of water resources in Florida. Further research on the dam's risk assessment, emergency preparedness, and overall condition could offer valuable lessons for sustainable water infrastructure development and maintenance.

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.
