Summary

This dam, with a height of 9.04 feet and a length of 4729 feet, serves the primary purpose of tailings storage. It has a storage capacity of 1020.3 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 561.42 acre-feet, and covers a surface area of 21 acres. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond within the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction.

Despite being state-regulated and permitted, the condition assessment of Pol50 is not rated, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined. The dam has not been assigned an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or undergone risk assessment or management measures. While the dam's last inspection date, inspection frequency, and other emergency preparedness details are not provided in the data, it is clear that Pol50 poses potential risks that need to be addressed and managed to ensure the safety and sustainability of the water resources and climate in the surrounding area.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts should take note of Pol50 as a significant infrastructure in Florida that requires further assessment and management to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the protection of water resources and surrounding ecosystems. The dam's location, purpose, and current regulatory status provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for sustainable water management in the region. Monitoring and addressing the condition and safety of Pol50 will be essential for safeguarding the environment and maintaining the resilience of water resources in the face of climate change and increasing water demands.

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.
