Summary
Moriah, Missouri, is a vital structure designed by the USDA NRCS for grade stabilization along TR-Panther Creek. Completed in 1974, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet, with a structural height of 28 feet and a length of 310 feet. Its primary purpose is grade stabilization, serving a drainage area of 1000 acres and offering a maximum storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
This dam, with its stone core and soil foundation, features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet. Despite not being state-regulated or inspected, Panther Creek Watershed Dam Lt- 67a continues to fulfill its purpose effectively. While it has not been rated for condition assessment, its risk management measures are in place, ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding area. With a strong design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management in Harrison County, Missouri.
Although Panther Creek Watershed Dam Lt- 67a does not have outlet gates or associated structures, its impact on the local ecosystem and water flow cannot be understated. Supported by local government ownership, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure for maintaining stability along Panther Creek. Its strategic location and design elements contribute to the overall watershed management efforts, making it a key landmark for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

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.
