Carol is a privately owned dam located in Grundy, Tennessee, along the Ranger Creek. Constructed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 20.6 feet and has a hydraulic height of 15.7 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 105 acre-feet, Carol serves as a low hazard potential structure with a satisfactory condition assessment, as of the last inspection in September 2020.
Managed by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program, Carol is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities. While it does not have any associated structures or federal agency involvement, the dam's primary purpose is not specified. It is noteworthy that Carol does not have a controlled spillway, but its risk assessment deems it moderate, with moderate risk management measures in place.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Carol offers a glimpse into the infrastructure that helps regulate water flow and storage in the region. Its location in TARLTON, Grundy, Tennessee, provides valuable data on its dimensions, storage capacity, and hazard potential, making it an interesting case study for those interested in the intersection of dams, water resources, and climate resilience.
