Summary
Built in 1954 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, it serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a primary purpose of providing habitat for aquatic life. The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 300 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.39 square miles.
Although Ramsey Pond Dam has a low hazard potential, it is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a maximum discharge capacity of 550 cubic feet per second. The spillway, which is uncontrolled, has a width of 40 feet. The dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Available," indicating that further inspections are needed to evaluate its structural integrity. Despite this, the dam continues to support recreational activities and contribute to the local ecosystem along the Tr- Savannah River.
Overall, Ramsey Pond Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management for both wildlife conservation and community enjoyment. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, it is crucial to monitor and maintain structures like Ramsey Pond Dam to ensure their continued safety and functionality in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
