Gaynen Pond Dam, located in Calhoun, South Carolina, is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for recreational purposes. Standing at a height of 19 feet and stretching 400 feet in length, this dam has a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres. The dam, built on TR-Squirrel Creek, is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Gaynen Pond Dam is deemed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in March 2017. With a moderate risk assessment rating, measures for risk management and emergency preparedness are yet to be clearly outlined. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and has not undergone modifications in recent years. While the dam's purpose is mainly recreational, its location in the Savannah District underscores the importance of maintaining its safety and functionality for both water resource management and climate preservation efforts in the region.
