Metts Pond Dam, also known as Edward Metts Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Greenwood, South Carolina. Built in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and spans 440 feet in length. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam provides a storage capacity of 162 acre-feet and offers a surface area of 10 acres for outdoor activities.
Despite its low hazard potential, Metts Pond Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of October 2017. The dam's inspection frequency is set at once every five years, with the last inspection conducted on October 2, 2017. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, no emergency action plan (EAP) has been prepared or updated for this structure.
Situated along the TR-BEAVERDAM CREEK, Metts Pond Dam poses a moderate risk due to its poor condition and lack of an updated EAP. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be intrigued by the potential implications of the dam's structural integrity on the surrounding environment and the safety of nearby residents. As a privately owned dam regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, its maintenance and future risk management measures will be crucial to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the preservation of this recreational resource.
