Summary
Completed in 1964, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a height of 25 feet and a length of 740 feet. It impounds water from the TR-BULL SWAMP CREEK, creating a surface area of 8 acres and a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Ingletts Pond Dam has been assessed as being in poor condition as of July 2017. The 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 its safety. The dam's last inspection was conducted in July 2017, with an inspection frequency of 5 years.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Ingletts Pond Dam an interesting case study due to its historical significance and the ongoing maintenance challenges it faces. The dam's recreational purpose and its location in a picturesque setting make it a valuable resource for the community, highlighting the importance of balancing water management with environmental conservation efforts. As discussions around dam safety and maintenance continue, Ingletts Pond Dam serves as a reminder of the crucial role these structures play in our water infrastructure and the need for proactive management to protect both people and the environment.

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.
