It reports flood-control benefits, support to Avalon Dam, and 335,054 acre-feet assigned to flood-control functions. The page records Congressional authorization on October 20, 1972, and gives conflicting completion accounts: 1987 in one passage and 1991 in another. It says the Carlsbad Irrigation District operates and maintains Brantley Dam. ## Evidence limits and unknowns - The source gives conflicting completion years, 1987 and 1991, and does not resolve the chronology. - The source does not establish the full physical or administrative boundary of the Brantley Project. - This source does not establish current works, a procurement or supplier package, a buying window, financing stage, or next milestone. - The captured project-page text does not state a publication date. - The related Carlsbad Project History document is listed but not evaluated; linked documents and images are outside the supplied evidence, and the whole document was not reviewed.
