Scs-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-008 Reservoir Report
Last Updated: February 23, 2026
SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-008 is a state-regulated earth dam located in Pittsburg, Oklahoma, designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1999 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Brushy River.
Summary
With a height of 26.5 feet and a hydraulic height of 24.5 feet, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam has a storage capacity of 291 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 42 acre-feet, serving as a vital resource for water management in the region.
Owned and regulated by the state agency OWRB, SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-008 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite not having a recent assessment, the dam's risk assessment is categorized as "Very High (1)", underscoring the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. With a controlled spillway type and a length of 1275 feet, this earth dam is a key component in the region's water resource infrastructure, highlighting the intersection of water management and climate resilience in Oklahoma.

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.
