Despite its low hazard potential and not rated condition assessment, Romine Lake Dam provides essential storage capacity with a maximum of 103 acre-feet and normal storage of 67 acre-feet. The dam's design as an earth structure contributes to its stability and longevity. The surrounding area, including the city of Capshaw, benefits from the recreational opportunities and water supply provided by the dam.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Romine Lake Dam has not been subject to state regulation or inspection. However, its primary purpose of recreation and its minimal risk assessment indicate a well-maintained and safe structure. With its picturesque location and essential water storage capacity, Romine Lake Dam remains a valuable resource for both the local community and climate enthusiasts alike.
