The earth dam, standing at 21 feet in height and stretching 187 feet in length, holds a storage capacity of 91 acre-feet and covers an area of 8 acres. Situated on the TR-Devils Fork Creek, the dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, ensuring regular inspection and enforcement to maintain its structural integrity.
Despite its low hazard potential, Timber Lands Lake Dam has been assessed as being in poor condition as of the last evaluation in May 2017, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures. The dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and compliance with guidelines remain unclear, raising concerns about its preparedness for potential emergencies. With a moderate risk rating, stakeholders and regulators must work together to address the dam's maintenance needs and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment in the face of changing climate patterns.
