Thelma Ramsay Dam, located in South Carolina along the TR-BOGGY BRANCH river, was completed in 1956 for the primary purpose of recreation. This privately-owned Earth dam stands at 13 feet high and spans a length of 750 feet, with a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment was rated as poor during the last inspection in November 2017.

Managed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), Thelma Ramsay Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities. The dam's construction type is classified as Buttress, with an unlisted/unknown foundation. Although it has a surface area of 25 acres and normal storage of 90 acre-feet, the dam's current condition raises concerns about its structural integrity and ongoing maintenance needs. Given its importance for recreational activities in Hampton, South Carolina, efforts to improve and ensure the safety of Thelma Ramsay Dam are essential for both water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
