Summary

This earthen dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a height of 21 feet and a length of 648 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 819 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 24 acres, providing a serene environment for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.

Despite its private ownership, Hb2 falls under state jurisdiction and is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of Florida. The dam sits on an unnamed pond, adding to the charm of its surroundings. The hazard potential of Hb2 is currently undetermined, and its condition assessment has not been rated, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potentially indicating room for improvement in its management and maintenance.

For those interested in water resources and climate, Hb2 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in a picturesque location. With its recreational focus and state oversight, this dam offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of human infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and recreational activities in the context of water resource management and climate considerations.

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.
