Epworth Pines Dam, located in Richland, South Carolina, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for the primary purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Constructed in 1966, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and spans a length of 600 feet, with a storage capacity of 136 acre-feet. It is situated on Roberts Branch, within the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

With a normal storage capacity of 96 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres, Epworth Pines Dam serves as a vital habitat for wildlife and a recreational area for visitors. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a maximum discharge capacity of 650 cubic feet per second. While its hazard potential is deemed undetermined, the risk assessment categorizes it as moderate (3), indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and management measures.

Despite not being regulated by the state or having a designated inspection frequency, Epworth Pines Dam has been a valuable asset to the local ecosystem and community for over five decades. Its picturesque setting and multifaceted purposes make it a significant site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the intersection of human engineering with natural landscapes.
