Mcleod Pond Dam, also known as C S Mcleod Farms Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Chesterfield, South Carolina. Completed in 1974, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 625 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 251 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Mcleod Pond Dam is irrigation, serving as a vital water resource for the surrounding agricultural activities.
Despite its importance for irrigation, Mcleod Pond Dam is currently in poor condition according to a 2017 assessment. With a low hazard potential, regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its stability and safety. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), which oversees permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure compliance with state regulations. While the dam's condition may raise concerns for water resource and climate enthusiasts, efforts are likely underway to address any necessary repairs and maintenance to safeguard this essential infrastructure for the community.
