Summary
Completed in 1975, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans 3000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. Situated on Husbands Creek offstream, the dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control or water supply.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Delta Pond Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is yet to be rated, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Despite its limited spillway width and lack of outlet gates, the structure has been deemed safe and adheres to inspection frequencies to ensure its continued reliability.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Delta Pond Dam offers an intriguing case study in dam engineering and management. Its unique design, construction, and purpose shed light on the importance of monitoring and maintaining infrastructure to mitigate potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices. As the debate on climate change and water scarcity intensifies, understanding the role of dams like Delta Pond Dam becomes increasingly vital in safeguarding water resources for future generations.

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.
