Williams Pond Dam, located in Calhoun, South Carolina, is a recreational earth dam completed in 1958 with a primary purpose of providing leisure activities for the community. The dam stands at a height of 19 feet and stretches 350 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a maximum storage capacity of 143 acre-feet and a normal storage of 101 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 rated it as poor, highlighting the need for maintenance and potential improvements.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), Williams Pond Dam is state-regulated and regularly inspected to ensure compliance with safety standards. The dam's spillway, classified as uncontrolled, is designed to manage overflow during periods of high water levels. While the dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, there are no specific risk management measures outlined in the available data. With a focus on recreation, the dam serves as a vital resource for the local community, though ongoing maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure its long-term safety and functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.
