Completed in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 295 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 indicated poor conditions, prompting the need for further maintenance and evaluation.
Located on Reedy Cove Creek within the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). While the dam has not undergone any major modifications since its completion, it is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure public safety. The dam's spillway, classified as uncontrolled, poses a moderate risk level and may require additional risk management measures in the future to mitigate potential hazards.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Reedy Cove Creek Lake Dam serves as a vital recreational asset in the region, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and other outdoor activities. As efforts continue to address the dam's poor condition assessment and mitigate any associated risks, stakeholders can stay informed about the dam's status and potential management measures to ensure the long-term safety and enjoyment of this important water resource in South Carolina.
