Lake Marston Pond Dam in Orangeburg, South Carolina, is a privately owned earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS for recreational purposes. Completed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 16 feet and spans a length of 1280 feet, creating a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. Despite its primary purpose for recreation, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and a poor condition assessment as of its last inspection in July 2017.
Situated on the TR-CAW CAW SWAMP, Lake Marston Pond Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. Its spillway type is uncontrolled, with uncontrolled outlet gates and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam's condition assessment in 2017 deemed it in poor condition, raising concerns about its structural integrity and potential hazards. While it may offer recreational opportunities, efforts to improve and maintain the dam's condition are necessary to ensure the safety of both the surrounding community and the water resources it manages.
