Summary
Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at 21 feet high and stretches 630 feet in length to create a pond primarily used for fire protection, stock, or small fish pond purposes. With a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in maintaining water resources in the area.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), D Honey No 1 Pond Dam is deemed state regulated, with permits, inspections, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, the dam has not undergone significant modifications in recent years. Regular inspections are conducted to monitor its integrity, with the last assessment taking place in February 2020. While the dam meets guidelines for emergency action plans, further risk assessment and management measures may be needed to address any potential threats.
Situated along the TR-Alexander Creek, D Honey No 1 Pond Dam serves as an essential component of the local water infrastructure, providing vital resources for various purposes. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is important to recognize the significance of dams like D Honey No 1 Pond Dam in sustaining ecosystems and supporting community needs. By staying informed about the condition and management of such structures, we can contribute to the preservation and sustainable use of our water resources for 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.
