Brackers Pond Dam, also known as M R Bracken Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Pickens, South Carolina. Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and stretches 265 feet in length. Its primary purpose is for irrigation, with additional recreational uses. The dam overlooks the TR-GEORGES CREEK, contributing to a surface area of 12 acres and providing a maximum storage capacity of 115 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Brackers Pond Dam is currently assessed as being in poor condition as of June 2017. With a moderate risk rating of 3, there are concerns about its structural integrity and the need for maintenance. The dam is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the condition of this dam to ensure the safety of both the surrounding area and the water supply it provides.
