Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 16.23 feet and a storage capacity of 11,028.4 acre-feet, serves the primary purpose of storing tailings. The dam is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Situated on an unnamed pond, Her05 is under the jurisdiction of the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." Despite this, the dam has not been assessed for emergency action preparedness, and there are no available risk assessment or management measures in place as of now. Given its location and purpose, Her05 presents an intriguing case for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study for potential environmental impacts.
With its unique characteristics and regulatory framework, Her05 serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of water resource management and climate considerations in Florida. As a private structure with state oversight, the dam's condition and safety measures are vital for ensuring the protection of the surrounding environment and communities. Further research and analysis of Her05's risk potential, emergency preparedness, and overall impact on the local ecosystem could provide valuable insights for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to enhance their understanding of dam infrastructure in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
