Brice Dam, located in Fairfield, South Carolina, is a privately owned earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1981 for recreational purposes. Standing at a height of 23 feet and stretching 542 feet in length, the dam provides a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres along the TR-McCulley Creek. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition and in need of assessment and potential improvements.

Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Brice Dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a controlled spillway and uncontrolled outlet gates, the dam poses a very high risk according to the risk assessment criteria. Although its primary purpose is for recreation, the dam's structural integrity and safety measures warrant close attention to ensure the protection of downstream communities and ecosystems. The risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam are currently under evaluation, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks.
