Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and spans a length of 305 feet, with a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition, as indicated by a 2017 assessment.
Managed by a private owner, the Brockington Pond Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures. Its primary purpose of providing fire protection and serving as a small fish pond highlights its importance in the local community. The dam's proximity to the Walden Branch river adds to its significance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Brockington Pond Dam presents a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and recreational activities. With its historical significance and ongoing maintenance needs, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water management practices for both human and ecological well-being.

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.
