Located in Holmes, Florida, O.C.Brown #1 is a private earth dam constructed in 1987 by the USDA NRCS.
This structure, designed for purposes other than flood control, stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 126 acre-feet. Situated on Padgett Creek, this dam has a low hazard potential and is regulated by the Northwest Florida Water Management District.
The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with other controlled outlet gates. It has not been rated for condition assessment and last underwent inspection in May 1994. Despite its moderate risk assessment level, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unclear. With a maximum discharge capacity of zero, O.C. Brown #1 serves as a key resource for water and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and regulation of water structures in the region.
