Summary

The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, specifically for the management of an unnamed pond. The dam has a storage capacity of 1458 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 31 acres. It is regulated by the state of Florida and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols in place.

Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not yet rated for condition assessment, Gm1 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management and climate enthusiasts in the region. The dam's location in the Savannah District, along with its ownership by a private entity, highlights the importance of collaboration between government agencies and private stakeholders in maintaining and monitoring water infrastructure. The presence of Gm1 contributes to the overall water resource management efforts in Florida and underscores the need for continued monitoring and evaluation of such structures.

While Gm1 may not currently have a fully assessed condition or a hazard potential determined, its role in water management and recreation cannot be understated. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the upkeep and assessment of dams like Gm1 will be crucial in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water systems in the region. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate adaptation efforts should keep an eye on developments related to Gm1 and similar structures in Florida to stay informed about the state of water infrastructure in the area.

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.
