Summary
The dam serves as a tailings structure, with a height of 6 feet and a storage capacity of 43,000 acre-feet. Despite its relatively low structural height, Cs-11 is classified as having a significant hazard potential, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring protocols.
While Cs-11 is regulated by the state of Florida and subject to permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated." With a moderate risk level assigned to the dam, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize risk management measures and potentially develop an emergency action plan to ensure the safety of downstream communities and the surrounding environment. Given its location in a populated area and the potential consequences of a dam failure, ongoing vigilance and proactive interventions are essential for Cs-11.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to advocate for sustainable management of dams and reservoirs, Cs-11 serves as a poignant reminder of the need for robust regulatory frameworks, regular inspections, and proactive risk mitigation strategies. The dam's presence along the Peace River underscores the interconnectedness of water infrastructure and environmental systems, highlighting the importance of balancing human needs with ecosystem health in the face of changing climate conditions. By prioritizing the safety and resilience of structures like Cs-11, stakeholders can work towards a more sustainable and secure water future for all.

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.
