Summary
This dam serves the primary purpose of tailings storage and is classified as a concrete dam with a height of 7 feet and a length of 20,387 feet. It has a storage capacity of 15,492 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 11,877.2 acre-feet. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and is regulated by the state of Florida, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place.
While the hazard potential of Pol101 is currently classified as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the dam has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for the dam are also lacking, with no inundation maps prepared or risk assessments conducted. Despite these gaps in safety protocols, the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, indicating that responsibility for its maintenance and regulation lies with the private owner.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pol101 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in Florida with significant storage capacity and potential environmental impact. The lack of recent inspections, emergency preparedness, and risk assessments raise concerns about the safety and resilience of the dam in the face of potential hazards such as extreme weather events or structural failures. As discussions around water resource management and climate adaptation continue to evolve, the case of Pol101 serves as a reminder of the importance of robust regulatory frameworks and proactive risk mitigation strategies for dams and other critical infrastructure.

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.
