About Scs-delaware Creek Site-003

The primary purpose of Scs-delaware Creek Site-003 is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Johnston Co Cons Dist (state). It impounds the Tr-sandy Creek near Wapanucka.

The dam stands 24 feet tall and stretches 1,990 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 25 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 589 acre-feet. Completed in 1971, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 12/15/2005. That was over 20 years ago.
