The earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans a length of 6,803 feet, with a storage capacity of 684 acre-feet and a surface area of 57 acres. Situated on an unnamed pond, Gw1 is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District and falls within the congressional representation of Neil P. Dunn (R).
Despite its undetermined hazard potential and lack of condition assessment rating, Gw1 remains operational with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and emergency preparedness measures such as an emergency action plan (EAP) and inundation maps are yet to be established. With its location in Gulf County, Florida, Gw1 presents an intriguing case for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and regulation of recreational dams in the region.
