Located in Collier, Florida, the St. Road 846 Land Trust Imp is a recreational dam completed in 2003 with a primary purpose of providing space for outdoor activities. Managed by the South Florida Water Management District, this Earth-type dam boasts a height of 8 feet and a hydraulic height of 7 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 350 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Cocohatchee River and covers a surface area of 72 acres, serving as a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
With a controlled spillway and other controlled outlet gates, the St. Road 846 Land Trust Imp has a low hazard potential and is inspected regularly to ensure its safety. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam has a very high risk assessment ranking of 1, highlighting the importance of ongoing risk management measures. Although the dam has not been modified in recent years, it remains a vital part of the local water resource infrastructure, offering both recreational benefits and crucial water storage capabilities for the surrounding area.
Overall, the St. Road 846 Land Trust Imp serves as a valuable asset to the community, providing a space for leisure activities while also playing a key role in water resource management in Collier County. With its strategic location on the Cocohatchee River and its well-maintained structure, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in the face of climate change and increasing water demands.

Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About St. Road 846 Land Trust Imp
Where does the data for St. Road 846 Land Trust Imp come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
