Summary

Standing at a height of 20 feet and spanning 414 feet in length, this earth dam holds a storage capacity of 420 acre-feet and covers an area of 11 acres. Despite its primary purpose for recreation, the dam's hazard potential remains undetermined, with its condition yet to be rated.

Positioned within the boundaries of the Mobile District, Yc1 overlooks the UNNAMED POND and is regulated by the state of Florida. The dam's operations are primarily overseen by its private owner, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement mechanisms in place to ensure compliance. While the dam's emergency action plan and risk assessment details are unavailable, the structure's uncontrolled outlet gates hint at a potential need for further evaluation and management measures.

With its picturesque location and recreational offerings, Yc1 stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in Florida. While its exact risk profile and condition assessment remain pending, this dam serves as a gathering point for water enthusiasts seeking solace and adventure in the heart of Crestview. As discussions around dam safety and regulation continue, Yc1's presence underscores the importance of balancing conservation efforts with public access and enjoyment of natural resources.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
