Berrys Pond Dam, also known as John Berry Dam, is a private earth dam located in Saluda, South Carolina, along the TR-RICHLAND CREEK. Built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and recreation. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 495 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Berrys Pond Dam is currently in poor condition as of the last inspection in October 2017. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, posing some risk to the surrounding area. The dam is regulated by the SC DHEC and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure public safety.

While the dam's risk assessment is moderate (3), there are currently no detailed risk management measures or emergency action plans in place. Given its location and poor condition assessment, there is a need for further evaluation and potential upgrades to ensure the safety and integrity of Berrys Pond Dam for the surrounding community and water resources.
