Summary
Standing at a height of 15 feet and with a length of 600 feet, this earth-type dam holds a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 28 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-BEAVERDAM CREEK and is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Despite its low hazard potential, Je Mcdaniel Dam 2 has been assigned a poor condition assessment, last conducted in August 2017. The dam has a poor condition rating and is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and there are no inundation maps prepared for potential risk assessment. With a focus on fish and wildlife preservation, the dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and serves as a vital resource for the surrounding community.
As a notable feature in the Charleston District, Je Mcdaniel Dam 2 stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the region. With its modest storage capacity and recreational value, the dam is a valuable asset for conservation efforts and wildlife habitat preservation. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of structures like Je Mcdaniel Dam 2 are essential for ensuring a sustainable future for both the environment and the community it serves.

Dam Data Reference
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.
