Se Community Park Dam, located in Richland, South Carolina, was completed in 1957 and serves as a vital resource for recreation in the area.
Summary
With a dam height of 21.6 feet and a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, the dam provides essential water management capabilities for the TR-REEDER POINT BRANCH river or stream. Despite its age, the dam is in fair condition according to the latest assessment conducted in May 2020.
Managed by the local government, Se Community Park Dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. The dam's hazard potential is classified as high, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts to mitigate any potential risks to the surrounding community. Additionally, the dam has a designated emergency action plan (EAP) in place, further emphasizing the commitment to safeguarding the area in case of any unforeseen events.
As a significant recreational asset in the region, Se Community Park Dam plays a crucial role in providing water-based activities and outdoor enjoyment for residents and visitors alike. Situated within the Savannah District, the dam offers a surface area of 5.7 acres and a normal storage capacity of 33 acre-feet, making it a popular destination for leisure and relaxation.

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.
