Summary
Completed in 1955, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and spans 2306 feet, providing flood risk reduction benefits to the local community. The dam has a storage capacity of 1668 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 14 acres, serving as a critical structure for water resource management in the region.
Managed by the TCEQ and designated as a state-regulated dam with inspection, permitting, and enforcement measures in place, Brady Creek WS SCS Site 29 Dam plays a crucial role in maintaining water quality and flow in the area. With a hydraulic height matching its structural height of 29 feet, the dam serves as a vital component for flood control and water management efforts along Live Oak Creek. Despite being rated as "Not Available" in terms of hazard potential and condition assessment, the dam remains a pivotal structure for the region's water resource and climate resilience.
As a part of the Natural Resources Conservation Service's portfolio, this dam signifies a collaborative effort between local governments and federal agencies to address flood risks and enhance water security in Texas. With a single slide gate for outlet control, Brady Creek WS SCS Site 29 Dam exemplifies the integration of engineering and environmental stewardship to safeguard communities against water-related hazards. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam stands as a testament to proactive measures in ensuring sustainable water management practices and resilience to changing climate patterns in the region.

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.
