Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3 dam
Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3
Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3, located in Marlboro, South Carolina, is a key water resource structure with a storage capacity of 1400 acre-feet and a surface area of 80 acres. This pond, managed by the state agency D4910, serves an essential function in treating and holding effluent from nearby sources. The dam stands at a height of 20 feet, ensuring proper containment of the treated water.
Despite its importance, Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3 has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its hazard potential is currently undetermined. The structure does not fall under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency, and it has not been inspected or permitted by the state. While the pond's emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain unclear, its operational status and potential risks are yet to be fully assessed.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and infrastructure of water treatment facilities may find Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3 to be a fascinating case study. With its significant storage capacity and strategic location in South Carolina, this pond plays a crucial role in maintaining water quality and safety in the region. Further evaluation and assessment of this structure could provide valuable insights into enhancing its efficiency and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3
Where does the data for Treated Effluent Holding Pond No 3 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
