Ruckers Pond Dam, located in South Carolina along Little Beaver Creek, was completed in 1900 for the primary purpose of recreation. This private earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and stretches 450 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 264 acre-feet and a surface area of 15 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition and last underwent inspection in March 2017.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Ruckers Pond Dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While the dam may not be considered a high-risk structure, its poor condition suggests a need for maintenance and potential rehabilitation to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of the reservoir's recreational value. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area may find interest in monitoring the ongoing management and potential upgrades of Ruckers Pond Dam to mitigate any risks associated with its current condition.
