Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a length of 2404 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1000 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 1.94 square miles along the TR-Brady Creek. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam features a slide outlet gate for water release.
Managed by local government authorities and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Brady Creek WS SCS Site 22 Dam is in compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement regulations. The dam's current hazard potential and condition assessment are not available, posing a high risk level for potential emergencies. Although the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unspecified, its critical role in flood mitigation underscores the need for continuous monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and water resource sustainability in the region.
While its inspection frequency, inundation maps, and risk assessment details remain unclear, Brady Creek WS SCS Site 22 Dam's strategic location and purposeful design highlight its significance in flood control and water management efforts. As a key infrastructure project within the Fort Worth District, this dam underscores the collaborative efforts between federal and local agencies to safeguard communities and enhance resilience against climate-related challenges in the area.

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.
