Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans a length of 320 feet, with a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Brown Creek, this dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Tuckers Pond Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in October 2017. With a maintenance frequency of every five years, the dam's structural integrity and emergency preparedness are areas of concern that need to be addressed. Although there are no associated structures or spillways as part of the dam, its significance lies in providing a recreational area for the local community and visitors to enjoy the surrounding natural environment.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the state of dams like Tuckers Pond Dam is crucial for ensuring the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of valuable water resources. By staying informed about the condition and regulatory oversight of dams, enthusiasts can advocate for proper maintenance and emergency preparedness measures to mitigate potential risks and protect the environment for future generations to enjoy.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
