About Panther Creek Watershed Dam B- 13
The primary purpose of Panther Creek Watershed Dam B- 13 is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Panther Cr Wshd Subdist (local government). It impounds the Tr-panther Creek near Mt Moriah.
The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 550 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 190 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 320 square miles. Completed in 1971, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
At 33 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
