Summary
Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans a length of 535 feet along the TR-HUSBANDS CREEK. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam provides a serene setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.
Despite its recreational appeal, Rollins Pond Dam poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment. The dam's last inspection in July 2020 revealed shortcomings that raise concerns about its ability to withstand potential hazards. While the risk assessment is moderate, with a rating of 3, there is a need for improved risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both visitors and the surrounding environment.
With the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) overseeing state regulation, inspection, and enforcement of the dam, efforts are being made to address the identified deficiencies. As water resources continue to be vital to our climate and ecosystem, Rollins Pond Dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and management of these structures to uphold safety standards and protect the natural habitat.

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.
