Summary
The dam is classified as an Earth dam, with a height of 19 feet and a length of 547 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 1,254 acre-feet. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond in Crestview and is regulated by the state of Florida, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Although the hazard potential of Lr1 is currently listed as undetermined, the dam's condition assessment is not rated. This raises questions about its safety and maintenance status. The last inspection date, as well as other crucial information such as emergency action plans, risk assessment, and risk management measures, are not available. Given the uncertainty surrounding the dam's condition and safety protocols, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to stay informed and vigilant about potential risks associated with Lr1.
As a structure with recreational significance and potential environmental impact, Lr1 warrants further attention and monitoring from both regulatory authorities and concerned stakeholders. Engaging in regular inspections, risk assessments, and emergency preparedness measures can help ensure the safety and sustainability of Lr1, as well as the surrounding ecosystem and communities. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can play a vital role in advocating for the responsible management and maintenance of Lr1 to safeguard water resources and mitigate potential risks associated with the dam.

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.
