Summary

The dam, constructed for an unspecified primary purpose, is owned by an entity not listed in the data. Despite its fair condition assessment as of February 2020, the dam poses a high hazard potential, warranting a biennial inspection frequency to ensure public safety.

Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), Fox Haven Subdivision Dam is part of the Charleston District in Congressional District 02. With a history of state permitting and enforcement, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unspecified. The dam's location near the confluence of various water resources underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure long-term resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.

As a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Fox Haven Subdivision Dam serves as a critical infrastructure within the state's regulatory framework. With its high hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam represents a key site for continued vigilance and proactive risk management. By staying informed and engaged in the maintenance and oversight of such structures, stakeholders can contribute to the sustainable stewardship of water resources and climate resilience in the region.

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. 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

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, 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.
