Sexton Dam, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, is a privately owned structure with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. The dam, completed in 2011, stands at a height of 39 feet and stretches 290 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 41 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Dutchman Creek, this earth dam with a stone core is regulated and inspected by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Despite its low hazard potential, Sexton Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of June 2017, prompting the need for regular inspections every five years. The risk assessment for the dam indicates a moderate level of risk, warranting attention to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With its proximity to a significant water resource and its function as a wildlife habitat, the maintenance and management of Sexton Dam are crucial in sustaining the surrounding ecosystem and mitigating potential risks associated with its operation.
