The dam, also known as Cla09, spans 1423 feet in length with a height of 10 feet and a hydraulic height of 8 feet. It serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction while also supporting recreation and water supply needs in the area.
Managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its fair condition and significant hazard potential are addressed. With a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 3 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing the flow of the unnamed pond and its associated drainage area of 0.03 square miles.
Despite its fair condition assessment in 2017, the dam poses a moderate risk, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures. With its uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates, regular monitoring and maintenance are essential to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the continued effectiveness of this vital flood risk reduction infrastructure.
