Grundy #1, located in Tracy City, Tennessee, is a state-regulated earth dam with a height of 18.6 feet and a hydraulic height of 13.8 feet. Completed in 1934, this dam on Little Fiery Gizzard Creek has a storage capacity of 231 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 14.7 acres. Despite its high hazard potential and poor condition assessment, Grundy #1 is inspected annually by the Tennessee Safe Dams Program to ensure its structural integrity and public safety.

With a drainage area of 1.01 square miles, Grundy #1 poses a moderate risk, but the lack of emergency action plans and inundation maps raises concerns about its preparedness for potential disasters. While the dam is currently in need of maintenance and improvements, its critical role in water resource management underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk assessment. As climate change continues to impact water resources, ensuring the safety and resilience of Grundy #1 is essential for protecting both the environment and surrounding communities.

As enthusiasts of water resources and climate resilience, it is crucial to advocate for the proper maintenance and management of dams like Grundy #1 to mitigate risks and adapt to changing environmental conditions. By supporting initiatives that prioritize dam safety and emergency preparedness, we can help safeguard our water infrastructure and ensure the sustainable management of our natural resources for future generations.
