Adams Pond, also known as Stanley C Baker Dam, is a private water resource located in Newberry, South Carolina. Built in 1965 for irrigation purposes, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. While primarily used for irrigation, the pond also serves as a recreational area, covering a surface area of 10 acres.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Adams Pond is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 reported it as poor. Efforts to improve its condition and emergency preparedness may be necessary to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation.
With its proximity to the Sandy Run Creek, Adams Pond provides a valuable water resource for the surrounding area. As a key player in the local irrigation system, this dam plays a crucial role in facilitating agricultural activities and supporting the community's water needs. By addressing its maintenance and safety concerns, Adams Pond can continue to serve as a vital resource for both irrigation and recreation enthusiasts in the region.
