Summary
The dam, with a height of 11 feet and a length of 980 feet, provides a storage capacity of 429 acre-feet. Situated on an unnamed pond in Gadsden County, the dam is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure safe operation.
The dam's hazard potential is currently classified as undetermined, with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." While the emergency action plan status and risk assessment details are not available, the facility's risk management measures, inundation maps, and emergency contacts are yet to be updated. Despite these uncertainties, Gq1 remains a significant water resource structure within the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, contributing to the local water supply and recreational opportunities.
As a focal point for water and climate enthusiasts, Gq1 offers a unique insight into dam infrastructure and its impact on the surrounding environment. With its location in a picturesque setting and a focus on recreation, the facility serves as a vital resource for the community while also highlighting the importance of proper maintenance, regulation, and risk management in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in Florida.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
