Summary
Built in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 445 feet in length. Its primary purpose is for recreation, with a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres.
The dam is state-regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in October 2017 revealing a fair condition. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses a moderate risk level, indicating the need for ongoing risk management measures. The spillway is uncontrolled, and the outlet gates operate in the same manner, contributing to the dam's overall risk assessment.
Lasley Pond Dam serves as a vital recreational resource within the community, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and maintain the integrity of such dams to ensure public safety and the preservation of the surrounding environment. Through continued oversight and risk management efforts, Lasley Pond Dam can continue to provide enjoyment for generations to come.

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.
