Summary

This structure, also known as Pol56, serves the primary purpose of managing tailings and is categorized as an Earth dam. With a height of 10.43 feet and a storage capacity of 837.48 acre-feet, Pol56 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. The dam is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.

Situated near an unnamed pond, Pol56 covers a surface area of 50 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 195.31 acre-feet. While the hazard potential of the dam is currently classified as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the structure is deemed to be in compliance with state regulations for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, Pol56 contributes to the overall water management efforts in the region and underscores the importance of private ownership in water resource infrastructure.

Although the specific year of completion for Pol56 is not provided, the dam continues to play a vital role in the local water management system. With its state-regulated status and adherence to inspection and enforcement protocols, Pol56 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and regulatory agencies in ensuring the safety and efficiency of water resource infrastructure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of structures like Pol56 is essential in appreciating the interconnectedness of water management systems and environmental sustainability.

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.
