Ht Double Pond Dam, also known as Alice Pond Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Anderson, South Carolina. 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.
