Ursula Dam, located in Edgefield, South Carolina, stands as a testament to the innovative engineering of the USDA NRCS, who designed this Earth dam in 1991. With a height of 32 feet and a length of 210 feet, the dam serves multiple purposes, including recreation and water storage for the TR-HORN CREEK. The dam boasts a storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, with an impressive surface area of 3 acres for enthusiasts to enjoy.
Despite its low hazard potential, Ursula Dam is currently assessed as being in poor condition, with its last inspection in August 2017 revealing areas that require attention. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, indicating a level 3 risk, suggesting the need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures. With its picturesque location in the Charleston District and its crucial role in water resource management, Ursula Dam remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to understand the intersection of infrastructure and natural ecosystems.
