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.
