Summary
With a dam height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 5,796 acre-feet, this earth-type dam on the Brady Creek plays a significant role in managing water resources in the area. Despite not having a spillway, the dam has a surface area of 55.4 acres and a drainage area of 10.22 square miles, contributing to the overall water management system.
Owned by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Brady Creek WS SCS Site 21 Dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations. While the dam is currently rated as "Not Available" in terms of hazard potential and condition assessment, it is considered to have a high risk factor (2) according to the available data. With a single slide gate for outlet control, the dam continues to be an essential asset for water resource management and flood control in the region.
As a part of the larger water infrastructure managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Brady Creek WS SCS Site 21 Dam stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to mitigate flood risks and support agricultural irrigation in the region. With its strategic location on the Brady Creek and its vital role in water storage and management, this dam represents a key component of the water resource system 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.
