The dam has a primary purpose of recreation, with a height of 30 feet and a length of 200 feet, creating a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Matthews Creek, the dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite its fair condition assessment, the dam poses a high hazard potential, highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and risk management measures. The last inspection in June 2020 indicated a need for continued monitoring and potentially updating the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) to meet guidelines and ensure public safety in case of a dam failure. With its picturesque surroundings and recreational opportunities, Asbury Hills Dam remains a significant landmark in the region, but its maintenance and management are crucial to safeguarding both the environment and the community it serves.
