Summary
This Earth dam stands at 7 feet tall and stretches 6410 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.1 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating (3) and is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
With a primary purpose categorized as "Other," Enrico Wsp serves as a crucial water management infrastructure in the region, providing necessary storage capacity during periods of heavy rainfall or flooding. The dam's operational features include other controlled outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway type. While the dam has not been assessed for its current condition, it has not been rated and meets state inspection, permitting, and enforcement regulations as required by the FDEP.
Enrico Wsp plays a vital role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area, contributing to flood control and water supply stability. As a significant structure under state jurisdiction, the dam's construction, inspection, and operational protocols are overseen by the appropriate regulatory agencies to ensure public safety and environmental protection. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Enrico Wsp serves as an intriguing case study of private water infrastructure that plays a crucial role in sustaining the region's water resources.

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.
