Summit Dam 6, located in Richland, South Carolina, was completed in 1994 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This private-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 470 feet, with a storage capacity of 137 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-RICE CREEK and is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, Summit Dam 6 is currently in fair condition as of the last assessment in January 2019. The dam is inspected every two years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. While the dam serves flood risk reduction as its primary purpose, it also offers recreational opportunities for enthusiasts in the area.

Summit Dam 6 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region while also providing a space for recreational activities. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Summit Dam 6 become increasingly important to ensure the safety of communities and the preservation of water sources for future generations.
