Summary
Owned by the local government and regulated by the Dam and Reservoir Safety Program, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 47 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 3,963 acre-feet. Completed in 1972, the dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction and also provides recreational opportunities for the community.
Managed by the USDA NRCS, Panther Creek C-2 spans a length of 1,450 feet and has a spillway width of 180 feet. With a drainage area of 5,830 acres and a normal storage capacity of 476 acre-feet, this dam plays a vital role in mitigating the impact of flooding in the region. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition has been assessed as satisfactory, ensuring its effectiveness in protecting the surrounding area from potential risks.
With a risk assessment rating of moderate and a history of regular inspections, Panther Creek C-2 demonstrates a commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the community it serves. As a significant infrastructure project in the Panther Creek watershed, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in safeguarding against natural disasters.

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.
