Westvaco Dam 2, located in Berkeley, South Carolina, was completed in 1960 and stands at a height of 17 feet with a length of 1390 feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 750 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 333 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-East Branch Cooper River, the dam contributes to the conservation and management of water resources in the area.

While Westvaco Dam 2 has a low hazard potential, its condition assessment is marked as poor as of the last inspection in December 2017. Despite being a state-regulated structure with inspections, permitting, and enforcement in place, the dam's maintenance and safety measures may require attention to ensure its continued functionality and safety. With its proximity to the Charleston District and the oversight of SC DHEC, the dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and water management efforts, making it an important site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and support for sustainable practices in the region.
