Boling Pond Dam, located in Greenville, South Carolina, was completed in 1989 and serves as a crucial water resource for recreational purposes. The dam, primarily made of earth with stone core types and built on rock and soil foundations, stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet. Situated on Buckhorn Creek, the dam covers a surface area of 12 acres and provides normal storage of 100 acre-feet. Despite being privately owned, the state of South Carolina regulates, inspects, and enforces safety measures on the dam, ensuring its structural integrity.
With a hazard potential rated as high and a fair condition assessment as of October 2019, Boling Pond Dam has a designated inspection frequency of twice a year. The dam's emergency action plan status and adherence to guidelines remain unspecified, raising concerns about its preparedness for potential risks. Although the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks detailed risk assessment information, its critical role in supplying water for recreational activities underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental preservation. Water resource and climate enthusiasts are encouraged to stay informed about the dam's condition and any updates regarding its risk management measures.
