Summary

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.

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.
