Built in 1957, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and stretches 355 feet in length, serving primarily for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, it provides essential functions for the local community while also offering recreational opportunities.
Despite its historical significance, the dam's condition assessment was reported as poor during the last inspection in May 2017, with a low hazard potential. As a state-regulated structure under the jurisdiction of South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), the dam requires regular inspections and enforcement to ensure public safety and environmental protection. With its proximity to the TR-Lake William C Bowen, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and contributing to the overall ecosystem in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of maintaining and improving infrastructure like Rw Miller Pond Dam is vital for sustainable water management and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions. By addressing the dam's poor condition and implementing risk management measures, stakeholders can ensure the safety of the surrounding community and preserve the ecological integrity of the area for future generations.
