Last Updated: March 3, 2026
G Stanley Rose Dam, located in Chester, South Carolina, was completed in 1983 and serves as a crucial water resource for the area.
Summary
This private dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam is of the Earth type with a buttress core, showcasing its structural integrity.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, G Stanley Rose Dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure public safety. With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam presents a moderate risk level. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam continues to provide reliable water storage and recreational opportunities for the local community.
Surrounded by the picturesque Tinkers Creek, G Stanley Rose Dam offers a serene escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its modest surface area of 6 acres and a drainage area that is not listed, the dam remains a valuable asset in water management and conservation efforts in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
