This private dam, completed in 1955, serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene oasis for outdoor enthusiasts. However, its poor condition assessment in 2017 raises concerns about its long-term sustainability and safety.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk, highlighting the need for proactive risk management measures. With a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of TR-Grannies Quarter Creek. Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure public safety and environmental protection. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the resilience of structures like Mcguirts Flint Hl Pond Dam becomes increasingly important for the community and ecosystem.
