Ramsey is a privately owned earth dam located in Grundy, Tennessee, near Payne Lake. Built in 1960, this structure stands at a hydraulic height of 16.2 feet and a structural height of 21.5 feet, with a dam length of 560 feet. It has a NID storage capacity of 821 acre-feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 331 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 69 acres. The dam serves the primary purpose of regulating the flow of the Corn Branch stream.

Despite its age, Ramsey poses a high hazard potential due to its condition assessment being listed as "Not Rated." However, the risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a score of 3 out of 5. The last inspection was conducted in May 2016, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The dam lacks certain safety features such as a controlled spillway, outlet gates, and emergency action plans, raising concerns about its ability to handle potential emergencies effectively.

Overall, Ramsey represents a significant water resource in the area, playing a crucial role in managing water flow and storage. With its high hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, there is a need for regular monitoring and potential updates to ensure the safety and functionality of this essential infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.
