Standing at a height of 15 feet and spanning 330 feet in length, the dam has a storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3.3 acres. Despite its recreational focus, the dam poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Glenn Pond Dam 2 is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement. The dam, situated on the TR-Big Generostee Creek, has an uncontrolled spillway type and a moderate risk assessment rating. Its last inspection in January 2020 revealed the need for improvements to mitigate potential risks associated with its aging infrastructure.
With its location in a picturesque natural setting, Glenn Pond Dam 2 serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities but requires ongoing attention to ensure the safety of both the environment and recreational visitors. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor the condition of such dams to protect the surrounding ecosystem and prevent potential hazards in the face of changing climate patterns.
