Jordan Pond Dam, located in Darlington, South Carolina, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1956. Primarily used for recreation, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet with a length of 520 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the picturesque LITTLE BOGGY SWAMP, offering a serene setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy.
Despite its low hazard potential, Jordan Pond Dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, with a recent inspection in November 2020 revealing the need for maintenance and improvements. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and its risk assessment is classified as moderate. With a risk management plan yet to be established, the dam faces challenges in ensuring its long-term stability and safety.
As a notable structure within the Wilmington District, Jordan Pond Dam serves as a crucial recreational asset while also highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and risk management practices. With its historical significance and scenic surroundings, this dam stands as both a testament to engineering ingenuity and a reminder of the continuous effort required to safeguard our water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.
