Zeigler Pond Dam, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, was completed in 1960 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. This private earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 750 feet, with a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet. The dam is primarily regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, Zeigler Pond Dam is currently assessed to be in fair condition as of December 2019. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) was last revised in April 2016, and it meets regulatory guidelines. The dam poses a significant risk in case of failure, but specific risk management measures are not detailed in the available data. The dam's location on the TR-Bull Swamp river system adds to its importance for water resource management in the region, making it a focal point for climate and water resource enthusiasts interested in the preservation and safety of such critical infrastructure.
