Summary
Completed in 1956, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and spans 3427 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 3128 acre-feet. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam serves its primary purpose effectively, with a hazard potential deemed "Not Available" and a high risk assessment rating of 2.
Managed by the TCEQ and subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, Brady Creek WS SCS Site 27 Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding events. With a drainage area of 7.03 square miles and a surface area of 46.7 acres, the dam contributes to the overall water resource management in the region. Though not rated for condition assessment and lacking emergency preparedness measures, the structure remains a key component in mitigating flood risks and ensuring the safety of the community.
While the dam lacks certain safety features like a spillway and emergency action plan, its strategic location and design make it an important asset for flood risk reduction in the area. With ongoing state oversight and a designated purpose to protect against inundation, Brady Creek WS SCS Site 27 Dam serves as a vital piece of infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable water management practices in 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.
