Summary

Standing at 14 feet tall and spanning 526 feet in length, it holds a storage capacity of 336 acre-feet of water in an unnamed pond. Although its hazard potential is currently labeled as undetermined and its condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," the dam is regulated by the state of Florida, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement all in place to ensure its safety and compliance.

Operated by private owners, Oc4 serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities in Crestview, offering a surface area of 23 acres for recreational use. Despite lacking detailed information on its construction date and modifications over the years, the dam remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in exploring the diverse landscapes of Florida. With its surroundings providing a serene backdrop for nature lovers, Oc4 invites visitors to enjoy its tranquil setting and engage in various recreational pursuits.

While the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are not specified in the available data, the structure's presence adds to the unique water infrastructure of the region. As water resource enthusiasts continue to monitor the environmental impact of dams like Oc4, their role in shaping the local ecosystem and providing opportunities for outdoor recreation remains a subject of interest and exploration in the realm of water management and climate resilience.

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.
