Culp Lake Dam, located in Lancaster, South Carolina, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1955 for recreational purposes along the TR-Waxhaw Creek. Standing at a height of 22 feet with a length of 430 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is poor, as of the last inspection in September 2017.

The dam, regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), is designed with an uncontrolled spillway and is primarily used for recreation. However, the dam's poor condition raises concerns about its long-term safety and maintenance. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there is a need for ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the environment.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts monitoring Culp Lake Dam should be aware of its current condition and the potential risks associated with its continued use. The dam's location and structural characteristics, paired with its poor condition assessment, highlight the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to prevent any potential hazards or failures that could impact the local area.
