Summary
3 is a privately owned water resource located in Hernando, Florida, near the city of Brooksville. This pond, also known as Unnamed Pond, serves as a crucial water storage site with a capacity of 4600 acre-feet. The dam structure, primarily made of earth, stands at a height of 40 feet and has a surface area of 115 acres.
Although classified as a low hazard potential structure, Pond No. 3 is regulated and permitted by the state of Florida, ensuring proper inspection, enforcement, and maintenance protocols are in place. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, no condition assessment has been conducted yet. The pond features an uncontrolled spillway type and is located in a designated state jurisdiction area, emphasizing its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, Pond No. 3 plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. Its presence highlights the importance of private ownership in maintaining and safeguarding critical water resources for the community, especially in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing water stress. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Pond No. 3 serves as a valuable asset for both water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates alike.

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.
