Summary

Designed by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and spans 1600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1180 acre-feet. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam is classified as having a fair condition assessment with a high risk rating of 2.

Managed by the TCEQ, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area, as well as providing fire protection and support for stock or small fish ponds. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, highlighting its importance in safeguarding the surrounding community from potential water-related disasters. With a notable hazard potential, efforts to maintain and ensure the structural integrity of the dam are essential to protect the downstream areas from potential flooding events.

Overall, Lower Brushy Creek WS SCS Site 10 Dam stands as a key infrastructure project in Williamson County, Texas, contributing to water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. With continued monitoring and maintenance, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the local community and enhancing water security in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
