Ea Fogles Pond Dam, also known as Ea and Hw Fogle Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Orangeburg, South Carolina. This Earth dam was completed in 1950 and stands at a height of 24 feet with a length of 565 feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreation, offering a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres.
Despite its recreational value, Ea Fogles Pond Dam poses a high hazard potential and is currently in poor condition, as indicated by the last inspection in October 2019. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam is situated on the TR-SNAKE SWAMP river or stream, under the oversight of the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ea Fogles Pond Dam presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of recreational infrastructure and environmental stewardship. With its historical significance and potential risks, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and oversight in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in South Carolina.
