Summary
Built in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans a length of 375 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreational use, offering opportunities for activities such as fishing and boating on the eight-acre surface area of the pond it creates.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment was reported as poor during its last inspection in June 2017. With a very high risk rating, there are concerns about its structural integrity and safety in the event of an emergency. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) regulates this dam, ensuring that it undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement measures to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ht Double Pond Dam serves as a case study in the importance of maintaining and monitoring aging infrastructure to prevent potential hazards and preserve the environment for future generations.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
