Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Frank R Pope No 1 does not fall under state jurisdiction and is not regulated or inspected by state agencies. With a congressman representing Congressional District 03, Alabama, as Mike Rogers (R), the dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and the role of recreational infrastructure in supporting local communities. While the dam may not be high-risk, its presence highlights the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of residents and visitors who enjoy the recreational opportunities it provides.
