Summary
This earth dam, standing at 15 feet tall and stretching for 435 feet in length, holds a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-CHINQUAPIN CREEK, this dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and efficacy.
With a hazard potential rated as high and a fair condition assessment as of February 2021, the dam is considered to be in adequate shape for its current usage. Despite the absence of specific spillway information, the dam's design and construction are geared towards providing reliable water storage and flood control capabilities. Its emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment details remain undisclosed, but the dam's compliance with regulatory guidelines indicates a commitment to managing potential risks and ensuring public safety.
In the event of an emergency, it is crucial for stakeholders and the local community to be aware of the dam's emergency contacts and evacuation procedures. Regular updates and maintenance of the EAP are essential to meeting safety guidelines and mitigating risks associated with the dam. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the infrastructure and management of structures like Florence T Hall Dam can provide valuable insights into the intersection of water management, environmental protection, and public safety in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
