Summary
Standing at a height of 26 feet, this earth dam with a buttress core type has a storage capacity of 172 acre-feet, making it an essential resource for water management in the area. The dam is state-regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), ensuring that it meets necessary inspection and enforcement standards.
The Dam On Christine Drive poses a high hazard potential, indicating the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its fair condition assessment as of August 2020, the dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water to the surrounding agricultural lands. With a normal storage capacity of 73 acre-feet, the dam serves as a vital resource for maintaining water supply reliability in the region. As a state-regulated structure, it adheres to strict permitting and inspection guidelines to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Managed by the Savannah District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Dam On Christine Drive serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in South Carolina. With its strategic location and high hazard potential, the dam underscores the importance of effective risk assessment and management measures to safeguard the surrounding community and agricultural lands. As a key player in the irrigation network along TR-EIGHTEENMILE CREEK, this dam plays a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable water supply for local stakeholders and enhancing water resource resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
