Summary
Owned privately, the dam stands at 15 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 9.4 feet, holding a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for recreation, providing a serene surface area of 7 acres for visitors to enjoy.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 43 feet. Despite being uncontrolled, its hazard potential is not available, and its condition assessment is not rated. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) was last revised in December 2012, showcasing a moderate risk level (3) in terms of potential emergencies, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and management measures.
With a moderate risk assessment, Roundhouse Pool Dam remains a vital part of the local water resource infrastructure, contributing to the region's recreational activities and water management efforts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, maintaining the safety and functionality of dams like Roundhouse Pool Dam is crucial for both environmental sustainability and community well-being.

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.
