Summary
Completed in 1955, this earth-type dam stands at 11 feet high and spans 470 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet, the dam overlooks the TR-LAKE SWAMP river or stream, offering visitors a serene and picturesque landscape to enjoy.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Eaddy Pond Dam is subject to state regulations and inspections by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC). Its last inspection took place in June 2015, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every five years. While the dam's condition is currently deemed "Not Rated", there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and risk assessment measures have yet to be fully documented. The dam's historical significance and minimal environmental impact make it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate in the heart of South Carolina.
Eaddy Pond Dam's peaceful surroundings and recreational significance offer a unique blend of natural beauty and human-made infrastructure. As a privately-owned entity with a focus on leisure activities, the dam stands as a testament to responsible water resource management. With its unobtrusive presence and low hazard potential, this structure serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human enjoyment and environmental stewardship in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
