Summary

Constructed in 1949, the dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene environment for visitors to enjoy activities such as fishing and boating in the 9-acre surface area of Nannies Pond. Situated on the TR-Stoddard Creek, the dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet.

Despite its low hazard potential, Nannies Pond Dam is in poor condition as of the last assessment in May 2017. The dam has a notable length of 575 feet and is of earth and buttress core type, posing potential risks to the surrounding area if not properly maintained. The dam is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), with regular inspections and enforcement actions to ensure the safety of the structure. With its historical significance and recreational value, preserving the integrity of Nannies Pond Dam is crucial for both water resource management and climate enthusiasts in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
