Summary
The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 355 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition as of the last inspection in June 2017.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement. The primary purpose of the dam is to provide recreational opportunities, making it a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. However, the dam's poor condition raises concerns about its long-term safety and the need for maintenance or potential rehabilitation efforts in the future.
Located on the TR-JIMMIES CREEK river/stream, W H Tiller Jr Pond Dam is an integral part of the local water infrastructure in Spartanburg County. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is important to stay informed about the condition of such structures to ensure the safety and sustainability of these valuable resources for future generations to come.

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.
