Located in Chesterfield, South Carolina, the Leaird Pond Dam stands as a private entity regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. This earth dam, constructed with a stone core on a soil foundation, reaches a height of 19.6 feet and boasts a storage capacity of 114 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 84 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 12.8 acres in the watershed of TR-Rocky Creek.

Despite its low hazard potential, the Leaird Pond Dam is assessed to be in fair condition as of its last inspection in October 2017. With a moderate risk rating, the dam has an inspection frequency of every five years. While no emergency action plan (EAP) is currently prepared, the structure meets regulatory guidelines. With Tom Rice representing the area in Congress, the Leaird Pond Dam stands as a testament to the delicate balance between water resource management and environmental stewardship in South Carolina.
