Summary

The dam, designed by FREESE AND NICHOLS, stands at a height of 17 feet and spans a length of 1030 feet, with a storage capacity of 256 acre-feet. It is situated along the TR-WILLIS CREEK, and is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

The dam has a spillway width of 365 feet and is equipped with two uncontrolled outlet gates. It has undergone modifications in 1984 for both hydraulic and structural improvements. The condition assessment in 2016 rated it as 'Fair', indicating a moderate risk level (3). The dam is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in March 2015.

While the hazard potential is listed as 'Not Available', the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not specified in the data. Overall, Brownwood Country Club Lake Dam serves as a vital recreational structure in the area, providing not just water resource benefits but also contributing to the environmental and social well-being of the community.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
