Goodson Pond Dam, also known as Bruce Hospital Dam, is a private dam located in Florence, South Carolina. Completed in 1976, the dam primarily serves the purpose of recreation, with a height of 30 feet and a length of 510 feet. It stands on the TR-BACK SWAMP river or stream, with a storage capacity of 284 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, Goodson Pond Dam is currently in poor condition, as assessed in November 2017. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in 2017 at an interval of 5 years. With a very high risk assessment rating of 1, there is a need for enhanced risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
Goodson Pond Dam's structural integrity and maintenance are crucial considerations for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As a privately-owned dam with a recreational purpose, its significance lies in providing leisure opportunities while also posing potential risks that necessitate proactive management strategies. The dam's location within the Wilmington District adds to its regional importance, highlighting the intersection of environmental conservation, public safety, and recreational enjoyment in the context of water resource infrastructure.
