Summary
The dam, with a height of 17 feet and a length of 380 feet, provides a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 9 acres. It is primarily used for recreational purposes, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
Managed by a private owner, Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure safety and compliance. The dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as being in fair condition, with a risk assessment rating of very high. Although the dam does not have a spillway width, it features a controlled spillway type to manage water flow and mitigate risks.
With its serene location on TR-PHILS CREEK and proximity to Wilmington District, Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy nature and engage in recreational activities. The dam's historical significance, combined with its functional design and regulatory oversight, makes it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to explore the intersection of human-made infrastructure and environmental stewardship.

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.
