Built in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans 275 feet in length. Its primary purpose is for fire protection, stock, or a small fish pond, with a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-PACOLET RIVER, this dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently rated as in poor condition based on a 2017 assessment. The inspection frequency is set at every five years, with the last examination conducted in June 2017. While there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The surrounding area is at a low risk of inundation, and there is no designated risk assessment or management measures outlined for the dam. Overall, L Jerry Camp Dam serves as a vital resource for fire protection and water storage in the region, but efforts are needed to improve its structural condition and emergency preparedness.
