Built in 1969, this dam primarily serves for recreational purposes, offering a surface area of 5 acres and a maximum storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-NORTH SALUDA RIVER, the dam stands at a height of 29 feet and spans a length of 293 feet.
Despite its scenic recreational value, N Morgan Pond Dam poses a significant hazard potential with a poor condition assessment as of November 2020. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. However, the dam's condition raises concerns about its safety and the need for proper risk assessment and management measures to mitigate potential risks to the surrounding area.
With a designated inspection frequency of 3 years, it is crucial for stakeholders to monitor and address the dam's maintenance needs promptly. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of proper dam management and safety is essential for preserving the ecological balance and ensuring the protection of communities downstream. N Morgan Pond Dam serves as a reminder of the critical role that responsible stewardship plays in safeguarding our water resources for future generations.
