Summary
The dam is classified as an Earth type and stands at a height of 6.77 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 12,157.49 acre-feet. It is situated on an unnamed pond in Hardee County and is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).
Despite being in operation, Pol12 has not undergone a formal condition assessment and is currently labeled as "Not Rated" for its condition. The hazard potential of the dam is listed as "Undetermined," highlighting the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. With a surface area of 517 acres, Pol12 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is vital to stay informed about the status of structures like Pol12 to understand their impact on the surrounding ecosystem and potential risks they pose. By advocating for regular assessments, risk management measures, and adherence to regulatory guidelines, we can work towards safeguarding our water resources and the communities that rely on them for their well-being.

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.
