Sam Hair Pond Dam, located in Edgefield, South Carolina, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose of recreation. Completed in 1991, this dam stands at a height of 34 feet and spans 200 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet of water. While the dam is primarily used for recreational activities, it also serves as a water supply source for the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, with its last inspection in August 2017 revealing the need for maintenance and repairs. The dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), which oversees permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities. The dam's location on the TR-DRY BRANCH stream adds to its importance in managing water resources in the region, highlighting its role in both recreation and water supply for the community.
