Summary
It serves as a tailings storage structure for an unnamed pond, with a height of 7 feet and a length of 15,642 feet. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 9,533.1 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 7,308.71 acre-feet and a surface area of 318 acres.
Operated under state jurisdiction by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Har2 is regularly inspected, permitted, and enforced to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." Emergency action plans and risk management measures are yet to be evaluated, indicating a need for further preparedness and assessment in case of potential risks or emergencies. Additionally, the dam is not owned or funded by federal agencies, highlighting its private ownership and operation within the state.
Despite its relatively modest dimensions, Har2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities from potential hazards. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the infrastructure and regulation of dams like Har2 is essential in promoting sustainable water management practices and fostering resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
