Summary
Completed in 1975, this stone dam stands at 25 feet tall and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet, with a total length of 1350 feet. With a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.29 square miles, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, the SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-009 is considered to have a very high risk, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam features a controlled spillway and is equipped with a valve outlet gate. While it has not been assessed for condition, inspected since 1980, or had an emergency action plan prepared, this structure remains a key component in the flood risk reduction efforts in the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like the SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-009 will play an increasingly vital role in managing and protecting our water supply.
As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is important to monitor and assess the effectiveness of structures like the SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-009 in the face of changing environmental conditions. With a focus on flood risk reduction and water management, this dam serves as a critical piece of infrastructure in ensuring the resilience of the region's water resources. By understanding the data and characteristics of this structure, we can better appreciate the complex interplay between water resources, climate change, and infrastructure development.

Dam Data Reference
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.
