Summary

Situated along the Little Pine Barren Creek, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 8 feet, with a length spanning 4746 feet and a storage capacity of 252 acre-feet. The dam, constructed by unknown designers, is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

Despite its recreational focus, the hazard potential of Little Pine Barren Creek 1 is currently undetermined, and its condition has not been rated. Emergency preparedness measures, such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, have not been completed or updated. With its location in the Mobile District and under state jurisdiction, this dam presents an opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts to engage in monitoring, assessment, and risk management efforts to safeguard the surrounding environment and community. Further research and collaboration with relevant agencies could enhance understanding and proactive measures related to this dam and its impact on the local ecosystem.

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.
