Summary
Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 116 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Dew Fresh Pond 2 Dam is for recreation, offering a surface area of 10 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy.
Although classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 was marked as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and improvements. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not had an Emergency Action Plan prepared to date. With the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control overseeing its regulation, inspection, and enforcement, efforts are likely underway to address any safety concerns and ensure the long-term viability of Dew Fresh Pond 2 Dam for both recreational and environmental purposes.
Located on the TR-Jumping Gully river or stream, Dew Fresh Pond 2 Dam provides a valuable water resource for the surrounding area. With its uncontrolled spillway and buttress core, the dam serves as a vital structure for managing water flow and storage. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it will be essential to monitor and maintain dams like Dew Fresh Pond 2 to ensure their resilience and effectiveness in the face of changing weather patterns and increased demand for water resources.

Dam Data Reference
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.
