Fl Okaloosa Co Noname 2 dam
Fl Okaloosa Co Noname 2
Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 2 is a privately owned dam located in Okaloosa County, Florida, along the TR-POVERTY CREEK. Built in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, with additional functions including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. Despite being state-regulated and inspected, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
This dam serves as a vital resource for recreational activities in the area, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other leisure pursuits. Positioned within the scenic landscape of Okaloosa County, Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 2 provides a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking to connect with nature and enjoy the local waterways. However, with the last inspection dating back to 1994, there is a need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam for both recreational users and the surrounding ecosystem.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Fl Okaloosa CO Noname 2 to safeguard against potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices. By staying informed about the state of such structures and advocating for proper maintenance and inspection protocols, we can help protect our water resources and preserve the natural beauty of our environment for future generations to enjoy.
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.

About Fl Okaloosa Co Noname 2
Where does the data for Fl Okaloosa Co Noname 2 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 Low 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.
