Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam dam
Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam
Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam, located in Marlboro, South Carolina, was completed in 1959 and serves as a recreational resource for water and climate enthusiasts. 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.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam
Where does the data for Camp Pee Dee Pond 1 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
