Summary

The primary purpose of this dam is flood risk reduction along the TR-Piney Branch. With a height of 34 feet and a length of 1300 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 635 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 345 cubic feet per second. The spillway type is controlled, with a width of 1 foot and one outlet valve.

Despite being in operation for over four decades, SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-032 has a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection date recorded was in 1980. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for this dam are not available, raising concerns about its ability to withstand a potential disaster. With its location in a high-risk area and limited information on safety measures, further evaluation and updates may be necessary to ensure the protection of surrounding communities.

Overall, SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-032 serves a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. However, the lack of recent inspections, condition assessments, and emergency preparedness plans highlight the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to safeguard the area against potential hazards. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should pay close attention to developments regarding this dam to ensure the safety and resilience of the local environment.

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.
