Summary
Standing at 8 feet in height and spanning 330 feet in length, this earth dam provides a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 217 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure public safety.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 12 feet, and its primary purpose is for recreation. Situated in a picturesque area, Cit02 covers a surface area of 30 acres and serves as a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Although it has not been modified in recent years, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, indicating the need for ongoing risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure its continued safety and functionality for the community.
Managed by a private owner, Cit02 is a vital part of the local landscape and provides valuable recreational opportunities in the region. With its strategic location and importance for water management, this earth dam serves as a key asset for both the local community and visitors, highlighting the intersection of water resource management and environmental conservation in Citrus County, Florida.

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.
