Constructed in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purposes of fire protection, livestock management, and providing a small fish pond. The dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 310 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 26 acre-feet.
Although the hazard potential of Workman INC Pond Dam is classified as low, its condition assessment is deemed poor as of the last inspection in June 2017. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 60 feet, and it has uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite its moderate risk rating, the dam has not had any emergency action plans prepared or updated, raising concerns about its ability to address potential risks effectively.
Given its location on TR-LICK CREEK and its importance for fire protection and water storage, Workman INC Pond Dam represents a critical infrastructure for the local community. However, the dam's current poor condition and lack of comprehensive risk management measures underscore the need for proactive maintenance and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential water resource in South Carolina.
