The dam, with a height of 18 feet and a length of 1164 feet, was primarily constructed for recreation purposes at an unnamed pond. It has a storage capacity of 621 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 21 acres.
While the dam is regulated by the state and subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, its hazard potential and condition assessment are currently listed as undetermined and not rated, respectively. There is no available information on its emergency action plan, risk assessment, or risk management measures. Despite its structure and purpose, the dam remains unclassified by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oc1 presents an intriguing case study of a private dam in Florida that serves as a recreational site. With limited data available on its safety and emergency preparedness measures, there is a need for further assessment and monitoring to ensure the protection of the surrounding environment and community. Additionally, its classification as a non-USACE structure raises questions about its regulatory oversight and potential vulnerabilities in the face of changing weather patterns and water resource management challenges.
