Summary

With a height of 19 feet and a length of 756 feet, it provides storage of 542 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 24 acres. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and is regulated by the state, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance.

Despite its undetermined hazard potential and not yet rated condition assessment, Wf1 remains a popular spot for recreational activities in Walton County, Florida. Although there are no associated structures or federal agency involvement with this dam, its presence adds to the local landscape and offers opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam presents an interesting case study for examining the intersection of human activity with natural water systems and the importance of proper regulation and maintenance for sustainable water management.

With its location within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wf1 stands as a reminder of the ongoing need for monitoring and assessment of dams, especially in the face of changing climate conditions. As advocates for water resource conservation, understanding the role of structures like Wf1 in the broader ecosystem can inform discussions and actions towards a more sustainable approach to water management in the region.

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.
