Summary

This Earth-type dam stands at 27 feet tall and stretches 1489 feet in length, creating a surface area of 96 acres and a storage capacity of 5427 acre-feet. Situated on an unnamed pond in MIDWAY, Mrg1 is regulated by the state of Florida and is subject to permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements.

Despite its recreational focus, the hazard potential of Mrg1 is currently undetermined, with the dam's condition not yet rated. Emergency action preparedness and risk assessment measures have not been completed, suggesting a need for further evaluation and planning in case of potential hazards. The dam's location in the Savannah District means it falls under federal jurisdiction, but it is not operated or funded by any federal agencies.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in monitoring the development and management of Mrg1, as it represents a potential recreational resource in Florida while also posing certain unknown risks that need to be addressed. The lack of comprehensive safety and emergency preparedness measures underscores the importance of conducting thorough assessments and implementing risk management strategies to ensure the dam's safety and the protection of surrounding areas in case of emergencies.

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.
