Completed in 1953, this recreational dam stands at a height of 40 feet and has a length of 245 feet, providing a storage capacity of 199 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in May 2017.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), Pete Pond Dam 2 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts to its 12-acre surface area. However, with a risk assessment rating of moderate (3), there is a need for enhanced risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
As a key feature in the Charleston District's water management system, Pete Pond Dam 2 serves as a recreational sanctuary while also highlighting the importance of proactive maintenance and monitoring to mitigate potential risks associated with aging infrastructure. Enthusiasts and stakeholders in the water resource and climate sectors are encouraged to stay informed about the ongoing condition assessments and risk management efforts to ensure the continued sustainability of this vital water resource infrastructure.
