Summary

This dam, also known as Pol51, is primarily used for tailings storage and is classified as an earth dam with a height of 10.61 feet. It has a storage capacity of 10,159.52 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 8,135.32 acre-feet and a surface area of 70 acres. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and is regulated by the state of Florida.

Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Pol51 is subject to regular state inspection, enforcement, and permitting. Its last inspection date, condition assessment date, and emergency action plan preparation date are not provided in the data. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps prepared. Overall, Pol51 presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and regulation of private dams in Florida.

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.
