Teague Lake Dam, also known as Mamie Teague Dam, is a privately-owned structure located in Laurens, South Carolina. Completed in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and stretches for 295 feet, serving primarily for recreational purposes along the TR-LITTLE RIVER. With a normal storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 198 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 11 acres.
Despite its recreational importance, Teague Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential and is currently rated as being in poor condition. The last inspection conducted in December 2017 recommended a more frequent inspection schedule, with a hazard level of moderate (3) indicating potential risks. The dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not clearly defined, raising concerns for the safety and security of the surrounding community.
With the Charleston District as the overseeing authority, efforts to address the dam's condition and ensure compliance with regulatory standards are ongoing. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the preservation and maintenance of critical infrastructure will find Teague Lake Dam a subject of interest and concern within the South Carolina region.
