Kent-Lepard Pond Dam in South Carolina, built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, is a private earth dam primarily used for recreation. With a height of 29 feet and a length of 680 feet, the dam holds a storage capacity of 179 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 10.3 acres for recreational activities. The dam is situated on Dry Creek in Edgefield County, South Carolina, and is regulated and inspected by the SC DHEC.

Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam is currently rated in fair condition as of its last assessment in February 2019. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses a moderate risk (rated 3 out of 5) to the surrounding area. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for the dam are not fully detailed in the available data, suggesting potential areas for improvement in ensuring the safety and resilience of the structure in the face of climate change and extreme weather events. Enthusiasts of water resource management and climate adaptation may find Kent-Lepard Pond Dam an intriguing case study for exploring the intersection of recreational infrastructure and environmental risk mitigation.
