Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam dam
Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam
Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam, located in Kent, Texas, was completed in 1969 and serves as a crucial water supply structure in the region. This private dam, with a height of 50 feet and a length of 300 feet, has a storage capacity of 320 acre-feet and a normal storage of 140 acre-feet. Despite its high hazard potential and risk assessment rating of 'High (2)', the condition of the dam is currently not rated, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
The primary purpose of Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam is water supply, specifically for the nearby TR-Salt Fork Brazos River. With no spillway and a lack of listed drainage area, the dam is a significant asset for water resource management in the area. While the dam is not federally owned or regulated, it is subject to state permitting and inspection requirements. As a key infrastructure for water supply, it is essential to monitor and manage the dam's risk factors to safeguard the community and environment from potential hazards.
As a notable earth dam with buttress core construction, Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam plays a vital role in providing water resources for the region. Despite its age, the dam continues to serve its intended purpose, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure for climate and water resource enthusiasts. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the management of structures like Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam becomes increasingly critical for ensuring sustainable water management practices in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam
Where does the data for Hagins Panther Canyon Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
