This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and has a storage capacity of 126 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 36 acre-feet. The dam, which spans 895 feet in length, is classified as having a low hazard potential and is rated in fair condition as of the last assessment in December 2017.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Crane Pond Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. The dam overlooks the TR-Prioleau Creek and is equipped with a controlled spillway. Despite its fair condition assessment, the risk assessment for Crane Pond Dam is very high, indicating the need for heightened vigilance and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and downstream communities in the event of an emergency. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this dam's intricate design and purpose for recreation an intriguing subject of study within the scope of environmental conservation and management.
