Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 9 feet and a length of 525 feet, impounds Quick Pond on Crooked Creek. The dam has a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres, providing a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Quick Pond Dam is regulated and inspected by the state to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 2017. While it lacks an Emergency Action Plan, the structure meets guidelines and is equipped with emergency contacts for preparedness in case of any unforeseen events.
As part of the Wilmington District in South Carolina, Quick Pond Dam contributes to the local ecosystem on Crooked Creek and offers a serene environment for outdoor recreation. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the dam's design, which includes an uncontrolled spillway and a buttress core type. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam remains a safe and enjoyable spot for visitors seeking a peaceful escape in the heart of nature.

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.
