Completed in 2016, this earth dam stands at a height of 44 feet and spans 850 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 26.5 acre-feet. With a surface area of 3 acres, the dam is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its fair condition and significant hazard potential.
Despite its fair condition assessment, the Kingsley Commercial Road C Pond dam poses a very high risk (rating of 1) according to the data. This risk level highlights the importance of ongoing risk management measures and emergency preparedness in the event of a potential breach. With a controlled spillway and no outlet gates, the dam's primary purpose of flood risk reduction underscores its critical role in mitigating the impact of extreme weather events on the surrounding area. As climate change continues to influence precipitation patterns and the frequency of severe storms, the maintenance and monitoring of structures like Kingsley Commercial Road C Pond will be essential for safeguarding communities and water resources.
