The dam, also known as Caw Caw Associates Dam, stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 600 feet, creating a surface area of 11 acres and a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-CAW CAW SWAMP, within the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency SC DHEC.
Despite its low hazard potential, Caw Caw Pond Dam has been assessed as being in poor condition during its last inspection in July 2017. The dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, with a mandated inspection frequency of every five years.
