The dam, standing at a height of 26 feet and stretching 420 feet in length, has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 52.2 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and improvements.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities. The Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers oversees the dam's operations, ensuring compliance with safety standards. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there is a need for implementing risk management measures to address potential safety concerns and mitigate any adverse impacts on the surrounding environment and communities.
Although the dam serves as a recreational spot in the area, its structural integrity and maintenance need to be closely monitored to prevent any potential failures or hazards. Ensuring the safety and functionality of William Greene Dam is essential not only for the conservation of fish and wildlife but also for the protection of downstream areas and communities along the TR-Camping Creek.
