Summary
Managed by a private owner, this earth-type dam designed by USDA NRCS boasts a height of 19 feet and a length of 603 feet, providing a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. The dam's primary function is to ensure water availability for various needs, including recreation, in the area.
While Rollins Lake Dam does not have a spillway, it is considered to have a high hazard potential, indicating the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures. The dam's condition remains unrated, underlining the need for ongoing assessments to maintain its integrity. Despite being privately owned, the dam falls under state permitting and inspection requirements, highlighting the collaborative effort between the owner and regulatory agencies to ensure public safety and efficient water management in the region.
With its location on TR-McGrew Branch and proximity to Fort Worth District, Rollins Lake Dam serves as a vital infrastructure contributing to water conservation efforts in the area. Its significance extends beyond its primary purposes to support the local ecosystem and recreational activities, making it a key player in water resource management and climate resilience initiatives in Texas.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
