Gro-Mor Pond Dam, also known as John Curnow Pond Dam, is a private dam located in Anderson, South Carolina. Built in 1958 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans 765 feet in length. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with an associated storage capacity of 142 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition as of the last assessment in June 2017. It is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes inspections every five years. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and its risk assessment categorizes it as moderate. Emergency action plans are not currently prepared or up-to-date for the dam.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Gro-Mor Pond Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam management and maintenance. With its historical significance and potential impact on the surrounding area, the dam's condition and risk assessment serve as important indicators for ongoing monitoring and potential improvement efforts. Its association with the USDA NRCS and use for flood risk reduction and irrigation highlight the intersection of water resource management and agricultural practices in the region, making it a valuable site for further study and conservation efforts.
