Cash Farms Dam, also known as Gosset, is a privately owned structure located in Cherokee, South Carolina, along the TR-MACEDONIA CREEK. Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1978, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and stretches 405 feet in length, providing irrigation water storage with a capacity of 57 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 rated it as poor, signaling a need for maintenance and improvements to ensure its continued functionality.
Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), Cash Farms Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced upon by state agencies to meet safety and environmental standards. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam poses a moderate risk level and is subject to a five-year inspection frequency. Although its primary purpose remains irrigation, the dam's structural integrity and maintenance are crucial factors in safeguarding water resources and mitigating potential climate-related risks in the region. As a key component of water management infrastructure, Cash Farms Dam plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities and sustaining local ecosystems.
