Summary
Owned and regulated by the State of Florida, this levee is designed to protect the surrounding area from potential inundation and water damage. With a height of 25.54 feet and a length of 33,000 feet, it provides essential flood control measures for the region.
Constructed with stone core types, Corbett Levee has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite not having a designated completion year or detailed inspection records, the levee has a storage capacity of 500 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 20 acres. While it has not been modified in recent years, the State of Florida ensures that the levee is regularly inspected, permitted, and enforced to maintain its structural integrity and effectiveness in flood risk mitigation.
With its strategic location and purposeful design, Corbett Levee stands as a crucial component in the water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. As a state-owned and regulated structure, it plays a key role in safeguarding the community against potential flooding events and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in Palm Beach County.

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.
