Summary
Completed in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 3423 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 1676 acre-feet. Despite its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, the dam also serves as a conservation measure for the local environment, with a normal storage capacity of 94 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.52 square miles.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Brady Creek WS SCS Site 30 Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment but is considered to have a high risk potential (level 2). The dam features a single slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and does not have a spillway, with its hazard potential listed as not available. While it has not undergone recent inspections, the structure still plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events, showcasing the importance of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
As a part of the Fort Worth District and with no associated federal funding or ownership, Brady Creek WS SCS Site 30 Dam serves as a testament to the collaboration between different agencies and the local community in safeguarding water resources and infrastructure against natural disasters. Its location along Brady Creek highlights the interconnectedness of water systems and the need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment.

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.
