This earth dam, with a height of 28 feet and a length of 300 feet, creates a storage capacity of 85 acre-feet, with normal storage levels at 64 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-MEADOW CREEK and is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC).
Despite its low hazard potential, Tyger Oak Dam 3 is currently assessed to be in poor condition, with the most recent inspection in February 2021 revealing concerns. The dam has an inspection frequency of 5 years, and a moderate risk level has been assigned. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, it is important for stakeholders and officials to monitor and address the structural integrity and maintenance of the dam to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the surrounding area.
