Summary
With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this Earth-type dam stands at 7 feet tall and spans 97 feet in length. It holds a storage capacity of 3536 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 575 acre-feet and a surface area of 287 acres. The dam sits on an unnamed tributary and is regulated by the Florida Department of Transportation.
Despite its fair condition assessment in 2017, Vol01 poses a high hazard potential due to its location and purpose. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures. While no recent modifications or inspections have been reported, the dam's emergency action plan status and adherence to guidelines remain unclear. With a high hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Vol01 serves as a critical infrastructure for flood risk management in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of dams like Vol01 is crucial for mitigating flood risks and ensuring water supply reliability. By staying informed about the condition and regulatory oversight of dams like Vol01, enthusiasts can advocate for necessary maintenance and improvements to safeguard communities and natural resources. With its strategic location and vital role in flood risk reduction, Vol01 serves as a key asset in Florida's water resource management infrastructure.

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.
