Panther Creek Watershed Dam B- 10 dam
Panther Creek Watershed Dam B- 10
Panther Creek Watershed Dam B-10, located in Mount Moriah, Missouri, was completed in 1965 with a primary purpose of grade stabilization. This earth dam, with a height of 31 feet and a length of 690 feet, serves to control the flow of the TR-Panther Creek and has a storage capacity of 314 acre-feet. The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, is owned by the local government and is not regulated by the state.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Panther Creek Watershed Dam B-10 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Harrison County, Missouri. The dam, constructed using stone core and soil foundation, has a spillway width of 50 feet and can handle a maximum discharge of 404 cubic feet per second. While the dam is not currently rated for condition assessment, it serves as a vital infrastructure for the surrounding area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Panther Creek Watershed Dam B-10 an interesting structure to study, with its uncontrolled spillway type and its moderate risk management measures. Situated in the Rock Island District, this dam contributes to the overall water management strategy in the region and plays a key role in flood control and grade stabilization along the Panther Creek watershed. Its construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in maintaining the ecological balance of the area.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Panther Creek Watershed Dam B- 10
Where does the data for Panther Creek Watershed Dam B- 10 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
