St. Regis Effluent Pond dam
St. Regis Effluent Pond
The St. Regis Effluent Pond in Duval, Florida, is a privately owned water resource managed for multiple purposes such as fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and others. Built in 1973, this Earth-type dam stands at 17 feet high with a maximum storage capacity of 1340 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 837 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 76 acres and is situated off the St. Johns River in BLOUNT ISLAND.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of August 2014, the St. Regis Effluent Pond poses a high hazard potential due to its location and the volume of water it can hold. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1400 cubic feet per second, it is crucial for the pond to undergo regular inspections, as it is state-regulated and permitted for operation, inspection, and enforcement. The pond's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently unclear, but its structural integrity and functionality are fundamental for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor closely.
Located in the Jacksonville District and falling under the jurisdiction of Florida state, the St. Regis Effluent Pond is an essential water management structure in the region. With its distinctive characteristics and critical role in various water-related activities, this pond serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of water resources, climate adaptation, and regulatory frameworks. As stakeholders and enthusiasts continue to engage with the pond's management and monitoring, its significance in maintaining water security and ecosystem health remains paramount in sustaining the local environment and community well-being.
Dam data reference
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.
Plan around the weather

About St. Regis Effluent Pond
Where does the data for St. Regis Effluent Pond 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 High 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.
