Fl Walton Co Noname 4 dam
Fl Walton Co Noname 4
Fl Walton CO Noname 4 is a private dam located in Walton County, Florida, specifically in the TR-BAY BRANCH. Built in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and is primarily used for fire protection, stock, or as a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres, this dam serves a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition.
Despite being a private structure, Fl Walton CO Noname 4 is regulated by the state of Florida and undergoes regular inspections for maintenance and safety compliance. While its purpose is mainly for fire protection and stock, this dam provides essential support for local water resources in the area, especially during times of need. With a low hazard potential and a lack of recent condition assessments, further evaluation and risk management measures may be necessary to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of this important water resource feature.
Overall, Fl Walton CO Noname 4 serves as a crucial asset for water management in Walton County, Florida. With its strategic location and purpose, this dam plays a vital role in providing necessary water resources for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond activities. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and upkeep of structures like Fl Walton CO Noname 4 become increasingly important for ensuring the resilience of local water systems and communities.
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 Walton Co Noname 4
Where does the data for Fl Walton Co Noname 4 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.
