Martin Pond Dam, also known as Willamette Pond Dam, is a private earth dam located in Chesterfield, South Carolina. Built in 1950, the dam primarily serves as a recreational facility, offering an 8-acre surface area for activities such as boating and fishing. With a height of 23 feet and a length of 387 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 55 acre-feet.

Despite its low hazard potential, Martin Pond Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of October 2017. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), which conducts inspections every five years to ensure compliance with safety standards. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a width of 0 feet, posing a moderate risk that necessitates ongoing risk management measures.

In the event of an emergency, the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts, raising concerns about its preparedness for potential incidents. With its picturesque location on TR-Little Black Creek, Martin Pond Dam serves as both a recreational oasis and a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and oversight to ensure the safety of water resources in South Carolina.
