Summary

The dam stands at a height of 8 feet and stretches 3788 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. Situated on an unnamed pond in Escambia County, this structure offers opportunities for water-based activities and scenic enjoyment for local residents and visitors alike.

Although the hazard potential of Ep4 is currently listed as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of Florida. Despite lacking specific information on the last inspection date and assessment of emergency preparedness, the dam's location within state jurisdiction ensures ongoing oversight to maintain its safety and functionality.

With its recreational focus and critical role in water resource management, Ep4 serves as a valuable asset in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the infrastructure and management of structures like Ep4 is essential for preserving water quality, supporting ecosystems, and ensuring the safety of communities in the face of changing climate conditions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
