Summary
The dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans a length of 795 feet, with a storage capacity of 269 acre-feet for irrigation purposes. The dam, constructed with an earth core and buttress structure, serves as a vital water resource in the region.
Despite being unregulated by the state and having a low hazard potential, Kolomoki Plantation Near East is subject to periodic inspections to ensure its structural integrity. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and it has uncontrolled outlet gates. While the risk assessment has deemed the dam to have a moderate risk level, there are no specific risk management measures or emergency action plans in place for this structure.
Overall, Kolomoki Plantation Near East plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water for agricultural activities in the area. With its moderate risk level and lack of regulatory oversight, it is essential for the owners to prioritize regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of this important water resource infrastructure.

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.
