Rose Lake Dam Reservoir Report

Last Updated: March 14, 2026

Rose Lake Dam, located in Leon, Texas, was completed in 1965 and serves as a vital water supply infrastructure for the region.


Summary

This private-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 460 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 190 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for its condition, posing a potential risk due to its high hazard classification.

Situated on the TR-Little Brushy Creek, Rose Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. While it lacks a spillway and has limited information on its inspection history, the dam remains a key structure for water storage and distribution. With its strategic location and purpose, the dam warrants attention from water resource and climate enthusiasts to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.

As a primary water supply source, Rose Lake Dam's significance in the region cannot be overstated. Its operation and maintenance are essential for meeting the water demands of the area, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures. With a risk assessment indicating high potential hazards, efforts to assess and address any vulnerabilities in the dam's structure are crucial to safeguarding water resources and the community's well-being in the face of changing climate conditions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
