It is situated on Peterson Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its relatively small size and limited surface area, Beasley Gss poses a high risk according to the data, with a hazard potential rated as "Not Available" and a risk assessment of "High (2)." The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. While it is not currently regulated by the state and has not been inspected or assessed for condition, the presence of emergency action plans and risk management measures remain unknown.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Beasley Gss represents a unique case study in dam infrastructure management and risk assessment. Its location in a predominantly dry region like Texas highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams, even those with lower storage capacities, to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems. The lack of available data on emergency preparedness and risk mitigation measures underscores the need for increased transparency and accountability in the management of critical water infrastructure.
