The dam stands at a height of 32 feet and stretches 225 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet. Its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a relatively safe structure, despite its poor condition assessment as of September 2017.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, the dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and compliance with standards. While the dam's primary function is to support fish and wildlife activities, its location along the TR-PLUM BRANCH river/stream also contributes to the local ecosystem and water resources of the area. With its uncontrolled spillway and limited surface area of 3 acres, Harold Campbell Dam plays a vital role in the conservation and management of water in the region.
Although in need of maintenance and improvements, Harold Campbell Dam remains an essential structure for the surrounding environment and wildlife. With proper oversight and management, this dam continues to serve its purpose of supporting fish and wildlife activities while safeguarding the local water resources in Cherokee, South Carolina.
