Eskridge Pond Dam, located in South Carolina, was completed in 1964 for the primary purpose of recreation. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 276 feet, providing a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition, as assessed in 2017. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and integrity.
Situated on Thompson Creek, Eskridge Pond Dam serves as a recreational site for enthusiasts in Chesterfield County. The dam has a surface area of 11 acres and normal storage capacity of 61 acre-feet. While the risk assessment categorizes the dam's risk potential as moderate, there are no emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for the site. The dam is privately owned and is not associated with any federal agencies, with its maintenance and operation falling under the responsibility of its private owner.
Despite its current poor condition assessment, Eskridge Pond Dam remains a popular spot for recreational activities in the area. With its scenic location and potential for water-based activities, the dam continues to attract visitors seeking leisure and enjoyment. As efforts are made to address the dam's maintenance needs and ensure its long-term safety, water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of this structure in providing both recreational opportunities and water management functions in the region.
