School Section Lake Dam, located in Rolette, North Dakota, was completed in 1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and is owned by the federal government. This Earth-type dam with a height of 6 feet and a length of 430 feet serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, providing valuable habitat for local wildlife. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 800 acre-feet and a surface area of 400 acres, making it an important water resource in the area.

Managed by the North Dakota State Water Commission (NDSWC), School Section Lake Dam is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water management in the region. Although the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," ongoing maintenance and monitoring efforts help to mitigate any potential risks associated with the structure.

With its picturesque location along the Pembina River, School Section Lake Dam not only serves as a vital water resource but also contributes to the overall ecological health of the area. While the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are not specified in the data, the dam continues to play a key role in supporting the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
