Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 26 feet and a length of 2500 feet, provides a storage capacity of 3021 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 36.8 acres. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the area.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Brady Creek WS SCS Site 38 Dam remains in satisfactory condition with a high hazard potential level. While it is not currently rated for its condition, the dam has not experienced any modifications or notable issues that would compromise its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for the dam are not readily available, indicating a potential area for improvement in emergency preparedness and response.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Brady Creek WS SCS Site 38 Dam serves as a significant infrastructure for flood risk mitigation in the region. With its strategic location and design features, including buttress core and unlisted foundations, the dam continues to contribute to the protection of surrounding communities against potential water-related disasters. As efforts to enhance emergency preparedness and risk assessment continue, the dam remains a vital asset in water resource management and climate resilience in Concho County, Texas.

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.
