Summary

This ranch is a true gem for water resource and climate enthusiasts, as it harnesses the waters of Tribvhoins Branch, providing a surface area of 3.7 acres and a drainage area of 0.17 square miles. With a hydraulic height of 22.6 feet and a structural height of 26 feet, this dam has a maximum storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 30 acre-feet.

Despite its age, Rambling Breeze Ranch dam continues to be a key component in managing water resources in the region, with a high hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment score of 3. This Earth dam structure, with a length of 230 feet, stands as a testament to thoughtful engineering and design. Although not currently rated for its condition, this ranch is a prime example of responsible water management and serves as a critical infrastructure for the surrounding community.

Located in Nashville District and maintained by the primary source agency TN, Rambling Breeze Ranch is a picturesque blend of nature and engineering, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource management. As a private entity with no federal oversight, this ranch stands as a testament to the commitment of its owners to ensure the safety and efficiency of their water storage facilities. Whether you're a water resource enthusiast or a climate advocate, Rambling Breeze Ranch is a must-see destination that highlights the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship.

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.
