This earth dam serves the primary purpose of water supply, providing a storage capacity of 157 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 84 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated in terms of condition assessment.
Despite being privately owned, Rowland Lake Dam is not regulated by the state of Georgia and does not require permitting for its operation. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a moderate risk assessment rating. The last inspection of the dam took place in November 2017, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every five years. While the dam does not currently meet emergency action plan guidelines, it remains an important water resource infrastructure within the area.
