Driggers Pond Dam, located in Marlboro, South Carolina, was completed in 1966 and stands at a height of 13 feet, with a length of 530 feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, specifically on the TR-Horsepen Creek. It has a storage capacity of 280 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 158 acre-feet and a surface area of 35 acres.
Despite its recreational significance, Driggers Pond Dam poses a high hazard potential and has been assessed as being in poor condition as of March 2019. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) regulates the dam, while inspection and enforcement responsibilities also fall under the state's jurisdiction. With its Earth core and Stone foundation, the dam is privately owned and regularly inspected for safety.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Driggers Pond Dam serves as both a recreational destination and a critical infrastructure element. Its location within the Horsepen Creek watershed makes it a focal point for understanding the intersection of human activity and natural resources. As efforts continue to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam, its management and maintenance will be crucial in preserving the surrounding ecosystem and water resources for future generations.
