3 D-2583 in Jasper County, South Carolina, stands as a testament to efficient irrigation practices. Constructed in 1974 by the USDA NRCS, this private-owned earth dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation, with additional recreational benefits. With a height of 18 feet and a length of 900 feet, the dam boasts a storage capacity of 93 acre-feet, providing vital water resources for the surrounding area.
Located on the TR-Savannah River, this dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 70 feet and a low hazard potential. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not been inspected or rated for its current condition. With no state jurisdiction or permitting required, this structure remains a crucial component of the local water management system. While the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are unspecified, its role in sustaining agricultural activities in the region underscores the importance of responsible water resource management in the face of changing climates.
