Jc Petty Pond Dam, also known as Wallace Bragg Dam, is a private-owned structure located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Completed in 1979, this earth-type dam stands at 26 feet tall and stretches 460 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet. While primarily serving the purpose of recreation, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as being in poor condition based on a 2017 assessment.
Situated on the TR-CASEY CREEK, Jc Petty Pond Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in June 2017. Despite its poor condition assessment, the dam poses a low risk potential and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the state-regulated requirements and maintenance challenges of dams like Jc Petty Pond Dam is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of these structures in the face of changing environmental conditions.
With its close proximity to the city and surrounding areas, Jc Petty Pond Dam provides a recreational oasis for locals and visitors alike. As a key feature on the TR-CASEY CREEK, this dam not only offers opportunities for outdoor activities but also serves as an important water resource for the community. As efforts continue to address the dam's poor condition and ensure its long-term viability, it remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of infrastructure management and environmental stewardship.
