Summary
7, located in Brooksville, Florida, is a privately owned earth dam with a height of 50 feet and a storage capacity of 4750 acre-feet. This pond serves as a vital water resource in the area, with a surface area of 95 acres and a low hazard potential. While the dam is not currently rated, it is regulated and inspected by the state of Florida to ensure its safety and efficiency.
Managed by the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Pond No. 7 plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in Hernando County. Despite being classified as having moderate risk, the dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place. However, with the state permitting and inspection processes in place, the dam is monitored to meet safety guidelines and mitigate potential risks to the surrounding community.
Pond No. 7 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to stay informed about the condition and regulation of such structures to ensure the safety and security of our water supply for future generations.

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.
