Summary

This stone dam, built on Brushy Creek, stands at 32 feet high with a length of 570 feet, providing storage capacity of 913 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 94.7 acres. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the area.

The dam's purpose is solely flood risk reduction, serving the local community and surrounding areas under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a very high risk assessment rating and a five-year inspection frequency, this structure ensures the safety and protection of the region from potential flooding events. Despite being not rated for condition assessment, the SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-004 stands as a key infrastructure asset in the water resource management of Pittsburg County.

Located in the Tulsa District, this dam on Brushy Creek is a testament to the collaborative efforts between state and federal agencies in enhancing water resource resilience. With its valve outlet gates and state-regulated operations, this structure exemplifies the commitment to sustainable water management practices in Oklahoma. The SCS-Brushy Peaceable Creek Site-004 not only mitigates flood risks but also showcases the importance of effective infrastructure in safeguarding communities against the impacts of climate change and water-related disasters.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
