Summary
It is primarily used for tailings storage and stands at a height of 8.31 feet with a length of 5734 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 384 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 52.34 acre-feet and a surface area of 33 acres. The dam is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Although the hazard potential of Des01 is currently listed as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the dam is actively monitored and managed by state authorities. The dam does not have a designated emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps prepared, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The dam's risk assessment, risk management measures, and emergency contact information are not currently available.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Des01 can explore its location on an unnamed pond in DeSoto County, Florida. The dam's design, construction, and funding information are not provided, but its purpose as a tailings storage facility highlights its importance in managing and storing waste materials. As a privately owned structure, Des01 plays a crucial role in water management in the area, and its ongoing monitoring and state regulation ensure its continued safety and functionality for the surrounding community and ecosystem.

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.
