Summary
The dam stands at 22 feet in height and has a storage capacity of 216 acre-feet, primarily used for irrigation purposes. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Brushy provides a vital source of water for the surrounding area while also minimizing the risk of potential hazards.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Brushy is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and risk management measures remain unspecified. With a drainage area of 4.7 square miles and a surface area of 17.2 acres, Brushy serves as a crucial water storage facility in the region.
Although lacking detailed information on the dam's construction year, spillway type, outlet gates, and other associated structures, Brushy's presence along Brushy Creek contributes significantly to the local irrigation needs and water resource management. With its strategic location and operational capacity, Brushy plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities and water supply in the area, underscoring its importance in the broader context of water resource and climate management.

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.
