My Dad was a civil engineer at SCE&G and he used to tell us that someone recalculated the 1000 year flood level for the area and it was about a foot over the top of the original dam. As a quick fix, they drove a steel cofferdam into the top between the original road and the water about 2 feet higher. I think some of it is still visible on the Irmo side around the park.

I worked on this project from 2004 until its completion in 2005.
I have many photos of the different stages of completion.

Damn great video !
great Dam video
2300 feet tall? I'm pretty sure that is not true. The narrator must have miss spoke. Lake Murray is only 360 feet deep.
He's referring to the backup dam
Full pond is 360
there is place on the dam that is anywhere near 2000 feet tall.
All black towns underneath that lake
LMAO bless your heart you can't be this ignorant
