Summary
The dam is an earth type structure with a height of 7 feet and a length of 15290 feet, providing a storage capacity of 10111.8 acre-feet. Situated in an unnamed pond, Har8 is regulated by the state of Florida and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Although the hazard potential of Har8 is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, the dam remains a key feature in the region's water resource management. With a normal storage capacity of 7752.38 acre-feet and a surface area of 337 acres, Har8 plays a crucial role in regulating water levels and ensuring water availability for various purposes. The dam's location in a sensitive ecosystem highlights the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to prevent any potential risks to both the environment and surrounding communities.
Managed by private owners, Har8 stands as a vital infrastructure in the region's water resource system. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the proper management and upkeep of dams like Har8 become increasingly critical. By staying informed and engaged in monitoring and addressing any potential risks associated with dams, water resource and climate enthusiasts can contribute to the sustainable management of these essential structures for the benefit of the environment and society.

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.
