Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 12.99 feet and has a storage capacity of 533.19 acre-feet. The dam is situated on an unnamed pond and offers a surface area of 36 acres for recreational activities. While the hazard potential of Cla04 is labeled as undetermined and its condition assessment is not rated, it is regulated by the state and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes to ensure safety.

Managed by the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Cla04 has no associated structures and has not been modified or inspected recently. Despite the lack of detailed risk assessment measures, emergency action plans, or inundation maps, the dam remains a key feature for recreational enjoyment in the area. The dam's location in Keystone Heights, along with its scenic surroundings and potential for water-based activities, make it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in exploring Florida's diverse landscape and water systems.

For those fascinated by water resource management and climate-related infrastructure, Cla04 serves as an intriguing case study in the balance between recreational use and safety regulations. Its presence as a privately owned earth dam in Clay County highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the protection of both the environment and the community. As discussions around climate change and water resource management continue to evolve, Cla04 stands as a reminder of the critical role that infrastructure plays in supporting sustainable and resilient water systems for future generations.

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.
