Mh Martin Pond Dam dam
Mh Martin Pond Dam
Mh Martin Pond Dam, also known as Enoree Farm Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Built in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 385 feet, creating a picturesque recreational area with a maximum storage capacity of 101 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-ENOREE RIVER, this dam serves primarily for recreation purposes, offering a serene spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment in 2017 was reported as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and upkeep to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its moderate risk rating, with a risk management plan yet to be fully detailed, the dam remains a key feature in the area's landscape. Regular inspections by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control help to keep track of its safety measures and address any potential issues that may arise in the future.
As a noteworthy landmark in the region, Mh Martin Pond Dam not only provides a tranquil setting for recreational activities but also serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring of water resource infrastructure. With its historical significance and scenic beauty, this dam continues to attract visitors who appreciate the intersection of human engineering and natural surroundings, making it a must-visit destination for those interested in water conservation and climate resilience.
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 Mh Martin Pond Dam
Where does the data for Mh Martin Pond Dam 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.
