Summary
Moriah, Missouri, serves as a vital resource for debris control along the TR-Panther Creek. Built in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is to prevent debris from flowing downstream, while also serving as a fire protection barrier and a small fish pond for local wildlife.
Despite being privately owned, Tuggle's Dam Lt-93 is not currently regulated or inspected by state authorities. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the dam continues to operate effectively in its role. The surrounding area boasts a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 245 acres, providing important ecological benefits to the local environment.
As a key component of the Rock Island District, Tuggle's Dam Lt-93 stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining water resources for both practical and environmental purposes. Its strategic location in Harrison County, Missouri, highlights the interconnectedness of water management practices and the need for continued monitoring and maintenance of critical infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns.

Dam Data Reference
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.
