Summary
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
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.
