Summary
With a height of 38 feet and a length of 1100 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 5100 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 6650 acres. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 2 feet and a valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite being assessed as in fair condition during the last inspection in 2011, the dam poses a significant hazard potential and is classified as having a very high risk level. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk management measures, and adherence to guidelines for inundation maps and emergency contacts are yet to be determined. The dam's structural integrity and functionality are crucial for protecting the surrounding area from potential floods and ensuring the safety of the community in the event of an emergency.
Managed by the OWRB and overseen by the NRCS, SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-026 is a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and purposeful design, the dam plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the local ecosystem. Climate enthusiasts and water resource experts alike will find interest in the unique characteristics and operational aspects of this essential flood control structure along Brushy Creek.

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.
