Man06 dam
Man06
Man06, located in Manatee, Florida, is a recreational earth dam with a height of 12.52 feet and a storage capacity of 433.55 acre-feet. Managed by the local government, this dam on an unnamed pond serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities in the area. Despite being in a state-regulated jurisdiction with permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place, the hazard potential of Man06 is currently undetermined, and its condition assessment is not rated.
Situated in the Jacksonville District and owned by a local government entity, Man06 offers 24 acres of surface area for recreational use. With Vern Buchanan (R) as the congressional representative, this dam has not been modified since completion, and its emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain unspecified. While the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are not fully detailed, its proximity to Bradenton makes it an important water resource for the community, highlighting the intersection of water management and climate resilience in the region.
As a key feature in the water infrastructure of Manatee County, Man06's role in water storage and recreational activities underscores the significance of effective dam management in adapting to climate change impacts. With state oversight and local government ownership, this earth dam's condition and hazard potential warrant further assessment to ensure its resilience in the face of evolving environmental challenges. The collaboration between federal, state, and local agencies is essential in safeguarding water resources like Man06 and enhancing climate resiliency in the area.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Man06
Where does the data for Man06 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
