Summary
This dam, which was last inspected in October 2017 and deemed to have a low hazard potential and fair condition, serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a maximum storage capacity of 29 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 86 acre-feet, Gods Blessing Farm Dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation in the region. The dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) was last revised in June 2019, indicating a proactive approach to emergency preparedness. Despite being classified as low risk, the dam is subject to regular risk assessments and management measures to mitigate any potential hazards and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
As an essential infrastructure for water storage and management, Gods Blessing Farm Dam highlights the importance of proper regulation, inspection, and maintenance of dams to prevent disasters and ensure sustainable water resources for future generations. The dam's fair condition assessment and low hazard potential demonstrate the effectiveness of ongoing monitoring and risk management practices in safeguarding this critical water resource in South Carolina.

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.
