Constructed in 1955 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at 27 feet tall and stretches 530 feet in length. With a maximum storage capacity of 79 acre-feet and a normal storage of 60 acre-feet, the pond covers an area of 7 acres and serves primarily for recreational purposes.
Despite its scenic appeal, Robinson Farms Pond poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, making it susceptible to flooding and other safety concerns. With a moderate risk rating of 3, the facility is in need of regular inspections and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of its surroundings.
Owned and regulated by a private entity, Robinson Farms Pond is under the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). With its picturesque location along the South Tyger River, this water resource provides a tranquil setting for recreational activities but also highlights the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to mitigate potential risks associated with its structural integrity.
