Rockwell, located in Borup, Minnesota, is a local government-owned earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Completed in 1974, Rockwell serves as a crucial flood risk reduction structure along the Wild Rice River S Br-Tr, with a dam height of 31 feet and a hydraulic height of 11.6 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 311 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.2 square miles, providing protection against maximum discharges of up to 785 cubic feet per second.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Rockwell underwent its last inspection in June 2015 and was deemed to be in satisfactory condition. The dam is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, and its emergency action plan status and risk assessment indicate a moderate risk level. With Collin Peterson (D) representing the area in Congress, Rockwell stands as a testament to effective collaboration between federal and state agencies in managing water resources and climate-related risks in Norman County, Minnesota.
