Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans a length of 1175 feet along the Cabin Branch river. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam offers a storage capacity of 163 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 21 acres.
Although classified as having a low hazard potential, the condition assessment of Reveres Pond Dam is noted as poor. The last inspection in March 2017 revealed the need for improvements to ensure the safety and stability of the structure. Despite being regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, the dam's risk assessment is moderate.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, there is a critical need to monitor and address the condition of Reveres Pond Dam to prevent potential hazards and ensure the long-term safety of the surrounding community and environment. With ongoing inspections and risk management measures, stakeholders can work towards improving the dam's condition and reducing its risk level to safeguard the area from any potential threats related to its structure and operation.
