The dam, primarily made of earth with a stone core, spans 37 meters in length and stands at a height of 15 meters, with a hydraulic height of 12 meters. It is situated on an unnamed pond, serving as a crucial barrier for flood control in the area.
With a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.3 square miles, the dam plays a significant role in managing water resources in the region. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam is currently in fair condition according to a 2016 assessment. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 32 meters wide, helps regulate the water levels in the pond during periods of heavy rainfall.
Being under state jurisdiction and regulation by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Unnamed Dam undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its integrity and safety. With its strategic location and purpose of flood risk reduction, the dam not only serves as a protective barrier but also offers recreational opportunities for local residents. As a vital component of water resource management in Pinellas County, this unnamed structure remains an important asset in safeguarding the surrounding environment.
