Summary
Constructed in 1974 by USDA NRCS, the dam serves as a flood risk reduction measure along the TR-ELM CR river or stream. With a height of 33 feet and a storage capacity of 685 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
The dam, made of stone with a soil foundation, spans a length of 3330 feet and has a controlled spillway to manage excess water flow. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-011 is rated as very high, highlighting the importance of effective risk management measures. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-011 presents an intriguing case study of a state-regulated flood risk reduction structure in Oklahoma. With its unique design and strategic location near Blanco, this dam serves as a vital component of the region's water management system. As efforts to address climate change intensify, understanding and monitoring sites like SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-011 will be essential in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the impacts of extreme weather events.

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.
