Summary

Completed in 1955, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 410 feet. Its primary purpose is for recreation, offering a serene and picturesque environment for visitors to enjoy.

Situated along the TR-LYNCHES RIVER, Eubanks Pond Dam has a storage capacity of 49 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in January 2016, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years.

With its tranquil waters and recreational opportunities, Eubanks Pond Dam serves as a valuable asset to the community and a haven for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty and importance of our natural landscapes. Its historical significance, combined with its functionality and scenic surroundings, make it a noteworthy site for those interested in the intersection of water management, environmental conservation, and outdoor recreation.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
