Parrs Pond 1, also known as Henry L Parr Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Newberry, South Carolina. Built in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and spans 300 feet in length. With a primary purpose of irrigation, this dam also serves recreational activities for the local community. Despite its low hazard potential, the condition assessment of Parrs Pond 1 is rated as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and potential upgrades to ensure its safety and functionality.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), Parrs Pond 1 undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in October 2017. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for irrigation purposes. Although classified as having a moderate risk assessment, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unspecified. As a part of the Reedy Creek watershed, Parrs Pond 1 plays a vital role in water resource management in the region and highlights the importance of sustainable infrastructure maintenance in the face of climate change impacts.
