Carroll Chapman Dam, located in Darlington, South Carolina, stands as a testament to water resource management and climate resilience. Built in 1957, this earth dam with a buttress core serves a primary purpose of water storage, holding a maximum capacity of 110 acre-feet. With a height of 11 feet and a length of 379 feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing the flow of the TR-BLACK CREEK river or stream.

Owned privately, Carroll Chapman Dam is regulated and inspected by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), ensuring its compliance with state regulations and enforcement measures. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated as of the last inspection in 2002. With no emergency action plan currently in place, there is room for improvement in emergency preparedness and risk assessment. As a key infrastructure for water management in the region, the dam serves as a vital resource for the community and underscores the importance of regular inspection and maintenance in the face of changing climate conditions.
