Summary
This private dam on Wolf Creek serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a tranquil escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area. With a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, the dam provides a serene setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, birdwatching, and boating.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Haire Pond Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in June 1999. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is essential for dam safety and emergency action plans to be prepared and regularly updated to ensure the protection of surrounding communities and the environment.
As water enthusiasts continue to flock to Haire Pond Dam for recreational enjoyment, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the maintenance and monitoring of this earth dam. With its serene waters and scenic surroundings, the dam serves as a vital resource for outdoor recreation while also emphasizing the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
