Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1 dam
Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1
Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1, located in Pace, Florida, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1963 by the USDA NRCS. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 1025 feet, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, including fish and wildlife pond activities. Situated on Rocky Creek, the dam has a storage capacity of 383 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1 is regulated by the Northwest Florida Water Management District and undergoes regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its significant hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as satisfactory, with the last inspection conducted in May 2014. The dam's location in Santa Rosa County, Florida, makes it a vital structure for water management and recreational activities in the region.
With a surface area of 42 acres and a drainage area of 0.73 square miles, Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1 plays a crucial role in maintaining water levels and providing a habitat for fish and wildlife. The dam's spillway width of 40 feet and maximum discharge capacity of 2400 cubic feet per second ensure effective water flow management during heavy rainfall events. As a key component of the water infrastructure in the area, this dam serves as a vital resource for both residents and the local ecosystem, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1
Where does the data for Woodbine Springs Hoa Dam #1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
