Summary
With a height of 26 feet and a length of 400 feet, this dam provides essential flood control measures for the area, holding a maximum storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, and no inspection frequency has been documented.
This dam plays a key role in managing the water resources of the region, with a drainage area of 295 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 151 cubic feet per second. The uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 20 feet, helps regulate water flow during periods of heavy rainfall, reducing the risk of flooding downstream. While the dam is primarily used for grade stabilization, it also serves as a valuable resource for wildlife habitat and recreational activities in the surrounding area.
As a local government-owned structure, Panther Creek Watershed Dam F-10 showcases the importance of proper water resource management and infrastructure maintenance. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of various agencies in safeguarding the environment and communities against the impacts of climate change and extreme weather events.

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.
