Pee Dee St Park Dam dam
Pee Dee St Park Dam
Pee Dee State Park Dam in Dillon, South Carolina, stands as a vital water resource in the region with a storage capacity of 233 acre-feet and a surface area of 53 acres. The dam, with a height of 10 feet, plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the area. Despite not being regulated by the state and having an undetermined hazard potential, the dam is a key infrastructure for water management in the region.
Although the specific purpose and type of the dam are not listed, Pee Dee State Park Dam serves as a significant structure for water conservation and management in South Carolina. With a normal storage capacity of 127 acre-feet, the dam provides essential support for local water needs and environmental conservation efforts. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam's role in water resource management highlights its importance in the broader climate and environmental context.
As a non-USACE (United States Army Corps of Engineers) structure, Pee Dee State Park Dam represents a local initiative in water resource management. While the dam's risk assessment and emergency preparedness details are not provided, its presence underscores the interconnectedness of water resources, climate resilience, and community well-being. The dam's location within Pee Dee State Park further emphasizes the intersection of natural landscapes, recreational opportunities, and essential infrastructure for sustainable water management in the region.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Pee Dee St Park Dam
Where does the data for Pee Dee St Park Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
