Bowers Pond Dam, also known as H Tate Bowers Dam, is a private-owned structure located in Lancaster, South Carolina. Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a length of 665 feet, providing irrigation and recreation purposes to the area. Situated on the Catawba River, the dam has a storage capacity of 203 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 170 acre-feet.
The dam's condition assessment in 2017 rated it as fair, with an undetermined hazard potential. Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the risk assessment for Bowers Pond Dam indicates a very high risk level. Although the structure has not been modified in recent years, its last inspection date was in August 2017, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every five years. With its controlled spillway and fair condition, Bowers Pond Dam remains a significant feature in the region's water resource management and climate sustainability efforts.
