This private dam, with a height of 35 feet and a length of 270 feet, has a storage capacity of 25 acre-feet. The dam is primarily made of earth with a buttress core type and is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently rated as poor as of the last inspection in August 2017. With an inspection frequency of 5 years, the risk assessment for the dam is moderate (3). While no emergency action plan (EAP) has been prepared or updated, the dam still meets regulatory guidelines and is considered to have adequate risk management measures in place.
Overall, Peterson Boddie Dam plays a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem along the TR-Gilroy Branch river. As a key structure for wildlife conservation, ongoing maintenance and monitoring are essential to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam for both the environment and surrounding communities.
