Jw Yonce And Sons Dam 2 dam
Jw Yonce And Sons Dam 2
Jw Yonce and Sons Dam 2 is a privately-owned earth dam located in Saluda, South Carolina, built in 1998 primarily for irrigation purposes on the TR-DRY CREEK. With a height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. Despite its poor condition assessment, the hazard potential of this dam is considered low, indicating a relatively low risk of failure.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), Jw Yonce and Sons Dam 2 undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The last inspection in October 2017 highlighted the dam's poor condition, prompting the need for potential maintenance and rehabilitation. With a drainage area of 8 acres and a storage capacity of 49.2 acre-feet, this dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, contributing to the sustainability of local irrigation systems and agriculture.
Although facing challenges in terms of condition assessment, Jw Yonce and Sons Dam 2 remains a crucial infrastructure for water management in Saluda, South Carolina. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the proper maintenance and regulation of dams like this one are essential to ensure the continued availability of water for agricultural activities and environmental sustainability in the region.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Jw Yonce And Sons Dam 2
Where does the data for Jw Yonce And Sons Dam 2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
