Summary

The dam, with a height of 8.16 feet and a storage capacity of 1658.14 acre-feet, serves primarily for tailings purposes. It is regulated by the state of Florida and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Situated on an unnamed pond, Pol47 is owned privately and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Florida. Although the hazard potential of the dam is currently undetermined and its condition has not been rated, it is subject to state regulatory oversight and is required to meet certain safety guidelines. With a storage capacity of 1658.14 acre-feet and a surface area of 53 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.

Despite lacking some key data points such as the year of completion and the last inspection date, Pol47 remains an important structure in the area's water infrastructure. Its presence highlights the intersection of water resource management and climate considerations, underscoring the need for proactive monitoring and maintenance of such critical assets in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
