Summary
Standing at a height of 22 feet and a length of 540 feet, this dam holds a storage capacity of 146 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 13 acres. The dam is regulated and inspected by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition has been assessed as poor during the last inspection in March 2017. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there is a need for improved risk management measures to address any potential safety concerns. The dam's emergency action plan status and compliance with guidelines remain unclear, highlighting the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance efforts to ensure the safety of the surrounding community, particularly in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate should stay informed about the ongoing condition and management of Hane Little Pond Dam to promote its continued safe operation for recreational purposes.

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.
