Summary
Completed in 1956, this private earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and spans a length of 615 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, offering a peaceful oasis for water enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Despite its important role in providing recreational opportunities, Logans Pond Dam has been flagged with significant hazard potential and a poor condition assessment. The last inspection in October 2019 revealed the need for improvements to ensure the safety and stability of the structure. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), which oversees permitting, inspection, and enforcement to mitigate risks and safeguard the surrounding community.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to recognize the importance of maintaining and enhancing the infrastructure of dams like Logans Pond Dam. By implementing risk management measures, conducting regular inspections, and prioritizing maintenance efforts, we can ensure the long-term resilience and safety of these critical water structures. Let us work together to protect and preserve our precious water resources for future generations to enjoy.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
