Robert Stuck Dam 1 dam
Robert Stuck Dam 1
Robert Stuck Dam 1, located in York, South Carolina, was completed in 1991 and serves as a private earth dam on Turkey Creek with a primary purpose of recreation. Standing at a height of 35 feet and spanning a length of 390 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 20.1 acre-feet and a surface area of 1 acre. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition according to a 2017 assessment.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Robert Stuck Dam 1 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is associated with no other structures. In case of emergencies, the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the maintenance and safety of dams like Robert Stuck Dam 1 in South Carolina may find the dam's risk assessment, moderate hazard potential, and poor condition assessment concerning. With its location on Turkey Creek and the potential implications for recreation and water management in the area, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the dam are crucial to ensure the safety and integrity of the surrounding communities and the environment.

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 Robert Stuck Dam 1
Where does the data for Robert Stuck Dam 1 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.
