Summary
Completed in 1996, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet and spans a length of 1370 feet, with a storage capacity of 2520 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Situated within the Tulsa District, the SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-029 serves as a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region, with a drainage area of 3725 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 4100 cubic feet per second. Despite being last inspected in 2006 and not rated for its condition assessment, the dam continues to play a vital role in flood risk reduction efforts. With a very high risk assessment rating, it underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in safeguarding the community.
As a state-owned structure with a valve outlet and no associated locks, SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-029 demonstrates the collaborative efforts of various agencies, including the Natural Resources Conservation Service, in overseeing its construction and regulation. Positioned to mitigate flood risks and protect the surrounding area, this dam stands as a testament to the proactive measures taken to safeguard water resources and enhance climate resilience in the face of potential hazards.

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.
