This Earth-type dam, standing at 18 feet in height, serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a storage capacity of 83.3 acre-feet. The dam, completed at an unknown year, covers a surface area of 8.4 acres and supports various recreational activities in addition to its primary purpose of habitat preservation.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its emergency action plan was last revised in 2016. With a drainage area of 0.29 square miles, Rowlett Road Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, especially for the tributaries to Franks Branch. The dam's presence contributes to the overall ecosystem health and provides a sanctuary for wildlife in the region. Further inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure its continued functionality and safety for both the environment and surrounding communities.
